[Itch.io Browser Game] GoGo Gunsmith (WIP) - Twin Stick Shooter with Upgradeable Guns + Idle Option
This is the an in-progress build of an incremental twin stick shooter. Mostly working on the game mechanics and balancing before attempting to make it pretty, so I'd love some feedback on gameplay and fairness.
Enemy drops for gun parts/modifiers, and an EXP based skill tree. Optional gambling away your EXP tokens for high value components. Component duplicates stack on each pickup, potentially building high quality components from basic drops.
Approx 45-60min to fully level and attempt the Final Wave (Final Wave is a work in progress - currently just throws you into Wave 100) then shows session stats.
Enter the Arena - a twin stick shooting gallery using the weapons you have built from dropped components. Various enemy types that grow in threat level as you progress
Improve Your Loadout - better components for better odds in the Arena. each component upgrades further the more it is picked up for substantial stat increases
Level Up Your Skills - a skill tree that unlocks better component drops, extra slots, and special moves
Full Autopilot - optional Idle mode does the heavy lifting for you in the arena, stopping only when you want to upgrade your loadout
