[GAME] Gun Frenzy - 3D Action Shooter

[WaveLightGames]

Hi,

I'd like to post up some info on Gun Frenzy, my first game, that is currently exclusive to Windows Phone (and Windows 8). I've posted a few threads about it already but I'm posting here in hopes of getting it on the front page, as per the guidelines. Anyway, here's some info about my debut game:

Gun Frenzy - What's it all about?

Gun Frenzy is 3D action shooter available on Windows Phone and the Windows Store. It features incredible 3D graphics that really push the envelope of what is possible on the Windows Phone platform. The game runs smoothly despite featuring a full 3D environment, luscious particle effects and special effects such as lighting bloom. Unlike most phone games, it allows users to adjust the graphics quality to match their phone hardware so even 512MB devices can run the game smoothly. The game employs a top-down view rather than the typical first or third person view.

The story is light-hearted and involves two well-endowed archaeologists reminiscent of Lara Croft being trapped in another dimension full of demons and other monsters. Each girl has respective strengths and weaknesses and players are free to switch between the two as they play through the game?s 28 levels. Most levels involve either killing a fixed number of enemies, surviving for a set time limit against an endless horde or finding an escape portal. Upon completion of each level, players are awarded a ranking based on their performance. There are also 15 achievements that players can earn and if all are unlocked, the player unlocks a significant weapon upgrade.

There are more than a dozen weapon upgrades that can be picked up during the game as well as health and damage boosting potions. Weapons range from magical staffs that shoot lightning, frost and magical energy to more conventional machine guns such as Scorpions, AK-47?s and MP-5?s. The levels are filled with dozens of enemies that range from various types of undead, dragons, hydra and fearsome demons. Enemies get tougher as the game progresses. There are also four major boss battles that feature creatures such as a massive skeletal dragon, a towering undead giant and a demoness riding a black dragon.

So far the game has been updated regularly and will continue to receive updates going forward. Updates have improved performance, improved graphics, and added new content like new guns and enemies. An upcoming update will add close to a dozen new enemies and a new boss battle.

The game is completely free but supported by occasional interstitial ads.

Here are some screen shots:

I'm working on a video trailer for the game and am just capturing some raw footage of the gameplay. I thought I'd share that with everyone. This is from the game engine but the game looks identical on a Windows Phone.

1 - Zombies,
2 - Ghouls
3 - Mushroom monsters
4 - Giant Spiders
5 - A massive flying manticore boss!

Hope you enjoy ... I'll post up some pictures later.

It's a fantastic game while the size of Windows Store version is a bit large:evil:

Thanks. I actually think I made a mistake with this last update. I forgot to compress a few textures so when I fix that ... the size should go down a little bit. Still, it's going to be pretty big ... lots of content and 3d graphics and there's only so much you can compress it. However, the next update will bring the size of the download down a little bit.
