Laser Duel

Prototype for a two player precision-based fighting game featuring one-shot kills and bullet-reflecting parries. Inspired by Nidhogg.

Mechanics

There are three possible shooting positions varying in height. There are three ways to evade bullets: crouching, jumping or using a shield. While using a shield, the player can't move, jump or shoot. The shield lasts a short amount of time. If the shield is used just as a bullet is about to hit the player, the bullet is sent back with added speed.
