Neon Arena - Jam Edition

The game was created for Amaze Me Game Jam - GMS2.

This is a turn-based arena battle with controlled placement of waves of enemies and obstacles. This is a virtual performance on hacking computer systems. 

Your task: to process the required amount of data to penetrate the server.

HOW TO PLAY

The game is divided into moves. Each turn is divided into several phases.

Short description

Phase 1: on the right is a 4 by 4 field with the enemy and obstacles, we choose his position and orientation on the field to the left (6x6). We send.

Phase 2: using energy (action points, 3 is added at the beginning of the phase) we perform the actions of the players (movement, shooting). We end the turn.

Phase 3: opponents are walking.

The turn ends.

Full description

Phase 1 - data acquisition.

 At the beginning of the turn, you receive a data packet from the server, which must be placed in the "Arena".

A data packet is necessary for objects located on a 4 by 4 grid. Using the data controls, you can rotate the grid with data, specify a place for data recording in the "Arena".

When finished, click on the submit data button. If the objects overlap, then they will be overwritten. If the intersection occurs with a player, then in the case of an enemy or an obstacle, you take damage.

 Phase 2 - player actions.

 Having loaded the data into the work area called "Arena", you can activate your abilities (movement, attack, teleportation). In more detail, about each ability and about each object, you can read on the information panel (right-bottom) by selecting the required object.

For every action you take, you need to spend energy. Each turn in this phase, you automatically gain 3 energy. Energy, like life, accumulates from turn to turn.

This phase will end if you run out of energy or you clicked on the "Confirm" button.

Phase 3 - the actions of the opponents.

In this phase, the enemies begin to act to destroy you.

Then a new turn comes.

Not everything is as difficult as it seems, try it. =)
