Pathogen

Project made for CPPGD in May 2021. An arcade shooter in which the player can copy enemy bullet patterns. Developed in Godot version 3.3. 

Instructions: Build up your Copy Meter, then shoot a Copy Bullet at an enemy to mimic its abilities! Each enemy has a different ability, but also a different penalty to your charge requirement.

Charger Enemies: Piercing shots, +5 recharge

Chaser Enemies: Faster movement, +10 recharge

Shooter Enemies: Rapid fire, +20 recharge

Bomb Enemies: Wide beam, +25 recharge

To help you out, some enemies drop Extends that boost your life count by 1, or Recharges that boost your Copy Charge by 10. Additionally, killing 100 enemies will also increase your life count by 1.

Try to last all six waves, then hold out for as many loops as you can! Also, if you manage to collect all abilities and fill up your Copy Meter, something interesting will happen...
