PowPow (working title)

Completion: 15%

PowPow is a unique blend of arcade shoot-em-up and strategy as you blast your way through levels, using your firepower to protect the Pyn, defenseless cloud-creatures travelling through a strange world.
The easiest way to think about PowPow is Lemmings but with the focus on killing sentient foes before they kill the Pyn rather than traversing them across increadingly tricky terrain. A variety of weapons will need to be utilized in order to successfully protect the pyn, and often you'll need to shoot down bits of the scenery to allow the Pyn to safely travel from the start to the end.

Each level is made up of multiple screen-sized segments, each with a start and end gate. Get all surviving Pyn to the end gate to progress to the next segment. Some gates require a certain number of Pyn to survive, whilst some are timed and will shut if you aren't swift enough. If you fail to reach these conditions, you will have to start the segment again.

A large variety of enemies roam each of the themed stages, and you'll need to learn how best to counter them to quickly take them down. You'll often have to use a shielding gun to protect your Pyn from bullets, but shields are not capable of reflecting physical damage, so try to keep the Pyn away from foes when possible. Abusing the shield will also cause the gun to overheat, leaving your Pyn defenseless for a few precious seconds. With good enough aim, you can try to intercept fired bullets with a shot of your own, allowing you to save the shielding for later on.
