ANN3 - Fun little arena shooter with a sneaky CPU opponent (Windows, free)
Hey r/IndieGame,
I just pushed a big update to Annihilators 3 (ANN3) and wanted to share the latest version!
It's a fast-paced 2D arena shooter with that classic 90s vibe — run around, shoot, dodge grenades, and try not to get obliterated by the heat-seeking bomb. Now with a full scoring system that makes every match feel more rewarding.
What's New / Highlights:
- Smart single-player CPU that actually fights back — it collects weapons, dodges, and even goes into "panic mode" when you launch the heatbomb. It can steal highscore spots with funny names like "Subservient Chicken CPU" or "Captain Cheapshot CPU"!
- New Scoring System — Body hits, headshots, grenade/landmine/heatbomb kills, and "perfect kills" all earn points. Chase your personal best!
- Local Highscores — Top 10 list with names, dates, and weapons. Ties are sorted chronologically so the first player to hit a score stays on top.
- Global Leaderboard (optional) — Submit your new #1 local record to the online leaderboard and see how you stack up against other players.
- Bow & arrow weapon now fully supported for both players
- Explosive heatbomb with screen shake + gamepad rumble
- Grenades, landmines, blood splatters, and dramatic headshot close-ups
- Multiple control options: keyboard (rebindable), mouse, or gamepad
Completely free, no ads, no microtransactions — just pure chaotic arena fun.
