Puzzle Puss

This is my entry for Genre Mash Jam 2021

The theme is Reusable.

I wanted to create run n gun with match 3 elements however the theme baffled me. After some brainstorming, I decided to create this game: match 3 game with run n gun elements.

Controls:

NumPad keys = move Puss and aim shots

Z = Jump

X = Shoot (can shoot in 8 directions)

Enter = Pause or confirm

F8 = Take screenshot

Features:

- Continuous shooting by holding shoot button.

- 8 directional shooting.

- 2 modes:

  - Story mode, jam version has 10 levels while post jam version has 50 levels.
  - Endless mode, jam version has only 1 level while post jam version has 3 levels.
- Boss fights!

- Reusability element: Rejected boxes will be dropped on field

- Cool tracks by Eric Matyas.

Enjoy this fun Run n Gun Puzzler!
