Duel Shootout is a local 2 player arcade game. The Rules are simple, shoot your opponent to score a point. First to 7 (points) wins. Each Player has 2 bullets in their chambers, and each can retrieve their own bullets back after being fired.

The Game was inspired by the arcade game Gun Fight. More specifically, its menu; the character on screen shoots a bullet at the 'insert coin' text and the bullet bounces off it. An idea was born!

Found a handy Unity C# 'tool' called Reflect (Vector2.Reflect), which simulates the bullets in-game ricocheting/bouncing off of walls.

Players only have two bullets so they must also dodge incoming bullets in gameplay at some point.

​​Camera shake, Leantweens, and scaling objects when being hit as well as the permanence of bullet shells on the playing field help the game feel and look juicier.
Project Goals:
  • Focus on gameplay (more than last game: More Minutes)
  • Build size less than 100mb
  • minimal in-game menus
  • 5+ downloads

Enemy Sprites

All enemies have multiple behavior states. These include Walking, Attacking, and Staggered. Each state have multiple sprites that play as an animation to help convey to the player what the enemy is doing and/or going to do.

Weapons

 Weapons can be unlocked by finding Weapon Chooser Machines and spending coins. Both weapons will cost the same amount. The player has two options to choose from and the choice is permanent (with current playthrough).

Weapons can be upgraded (up to 5 levels), with each level improving their attack stats. These stats are saved as .csv files created in Microsoft Excel and read in Unity at runtime.

Ammo

Originally the idea was to have 2 ammo types, blue and green ammunition. But to make things simpler, there is only one type of ammo, which is now 'universal' ammo. Any weapon that shoots projectiles or isn't magic based uses this. The player can carry a count of 200.

Magic based weapons use Mana/Magic Points (MP). This is conveyed by the blue bar in the game's UI Canvas. Each weapon uses a different amount of when used.
