Navigate 10 levels fraught with danger. Use stealth and extreme high voltage shocks to clear your path to the center of this mysterious digital dungeon.

I created this game in 2 days, and a few days later I made an HTML5 port.

Controls: Arrow keys or WASD, use X or spacebar to shoot.

Neat little game there.
Thank you, my good man. Astutely you have observed it is a "little" game. Mostly due to the 2 day limit I set on myself... however, I do plan on expanding upon this game idea eventually. I hope to make something like this again that is similar but with more influence from Virtanen's game "7 Minutes". For some reason I have developed a strong desire to feature scary pulsating faces in a game.

The lightning attack + screenshake, followed by the enemy exploding is a neat effect.
Thank you Mr. Bones. I have watched Jan willem Nijman's dissertation on "the art of screenshake." It has been very beneficial in aiding the feel I reach for in these effects. Still, I could have done better. I think a lot more sparks would have been fitting for the death explosion.

Exhausting as it was, I really want to make another 2 day game again in the near future... perhaps I could extend the deadline to 3 or 4 days, or even a week so I can flesh the game out more cleanly. I am very grateful for your feedback, Toque and Bones, my good fellows!
