ROCKET LAUNCHER!

This is the last power-up I'm making for the "First Playable" version! It shoots exploding rockets at random directions, at a fixed time interval!


I initially had coded this missile as following the closest zombie but figured it was too powerful, and this made the power-up too hard to balance. So now this power-up fires the rockets at random angles.

Here's the rocket inside Construct:

(The smoke looks kinda weird because it's not supposed to remain still in the air haha)

The time at which it shoots the missiles is every 8s for the first tier of this power, I made the game shoot them at a higher frequency for the gif only.

This missile explodes in contact with a zombie and uses the same explosion object as the grenade.

In case you folks are curious about this sort of thing, here are all the events I used to program this missile:

That's it! So long everyone!

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Here's what I'm thinking to celebrate the 1K followers milestone... the very first SOCK TOWN prototype!

It's heavily inspired by the Reigns game, but instead of being about being a king... it's about being the director of the "Sock Town" TV show!
