Hypertrig, an in-development run & gun platformer inspired by #GunstarHeroes, #MegaMan and #Ultrakill!

Hey there! I'm Artyrian, and I'm a self-taught programmer, sprite artist and composer, working on my own personal projects for nearly 4 years now! If you're in the #Terraria community and keep up-to-date with 1.4.5's progress, you might possibly know me for that one painting I did (shown there as Timburr). :P

I'm a big fan of hectic run & gun platformers - things like Mega Man, Cuphead, Gunstar Heroes - and after a few failed attempts at trying to make a game I could be proud of, I decided that I wanted to go ahead and make my own take on a run & gun platformer! After starting back in June of 2023 and relatively smooth sailing since then, that game has evolved into Hypertrig!

**Go check out the dev log HERE!**

This is my first time trying things out on GameJolt - I thought I might be able to find people who are interested in the game here, especially with the lack of proper run & gun games in recent years. I'd love to show more if there's interest!

Since actual dev progress for Hypertrig has been slow lately, here's a WIP song for an opening part later in the game :) (it still needs a lot of work)

@Artyrian2

<Flashing lights warning> Throughout the past few weeks of developing Hypertrig, my Gunstar Heroes/NES Mega Man inspired game, I've been working on "enemy ambushes". Here's a rough preview of that!

@Artyrian8

Trying to get myself to post on game jolt again, and it's been like...5-ish months?

Anyway, I've updated the damage overlay today. Now it has splatter effects like all the cool fps games out there. Not that this is an fps. :P

@Artyrian62

Since I've been working a lot these past few weeks, I haven't gotten to show any actual footage from my game, Hypertrig. So to change that, here's some quick WIP footage I recorded of attacking objects. :)

@Artyrian3

I'm really surprised at all the attention my last Hypertrig post got. So I thought, why not post another? I've been busy rewriting a few things lately, and with that comes a new mechanic - the ability to slam and meteor slam enemies!
