Cardboard Castle

This is Cardboard Castle! Made for the Brainless Mini-Game Jam.It's my first "complete" game AND my first game jam upload. In this game you play as a kid in a cereal box who defends himself in a big cardboard castle, where paper planes attack him... for whatever reason.He has a cardboard tube which he uses to hit enemies AND shoot them with spitballs! Somehow! Isn't that cool? Anyways, have fun!! At least as much as you can... in this game..Hopefully everything works correctly. I've never done this before. CONTROLS:WASD = MoveMouse = Look aroundLMB = AttackRMB + LMB = Aim and shootEsc = Pause Credits:dummy_artist: Artistindy21: Programmer, Game developer, Sound Some background about the game:Initially, for the game, I just imagined a kid in a cereal box and a cardboard castle. I didn't know what kind of game it'll be, like at all. But after creating the character controller, which I spent way too much time making because I was trying to perfect it for no reason, I realized I didn't have much time left. So I decided it'll be a wave game.I was planning to improve gameplay, difficulty balancing, improve juice (so it just feels good), improve menus, UI, and text, maybe add more enemy variations, etc.But I didn't have much time to finish it.Maybe I'll continue working on the game after the jam finishes, maybe I'll ditch the wave thing as well, turn it into something bigger or more unique instead. But I'm not too sure, because the motivation came from my brain being rewarded for doing things and seeing progress so quickly. Usually when there's no time limit, I end up getting demotivated and stop working on the game.We'll see. If anyone did, thank you for reading this! Good luck [AI DISCLOSURE]AI assistance was only used for code. It was mostly written by me, but the parts I needed AI assistance with, were double-checked by me, and tested. I made sure to actually understand what it does, and hand-edited it a LOT to fit the game better.All art and sounds are original and hand-crafted.
