Blaster Meltdown
For PolyMars X ScoreSpace Jam
In this DOOM inspired game jam entry:
You have been tasked with eliminating all adversaries that have invaded the facility, using a shield that makes you impervious to attacks and a blaster that shoots fireballs. You need to do this as fast as possible! Unfortunately for you, your shields are susceptible to overheating and the results of doing so are rather... EXPLOSIVE... So do your best to make sure you don't over heat if you don't want to perish.

Controls:
- [WASD] Move
- [Left Click] Shoot
- [Space] Jump
- [R] Reset game
- [ESC] Exit full screen
- Press the Fullscreen button on the start screen for Fullscreen
Tips:
- Shoot door terminals to open doors, can be done from far away!
- Shoot explosive barrels when enemies are close to them to take enemies out quickly!
- Walk on coolant for as long as possible because it makes you move significantly faster!

Something might be messed up with the leaderboard btw. Pressed submit twice on accident and it posted my score twice but with two different times, and neither were my actual time. Not sure if you're able to replicate the bug.
Thank you, I updated the game it should be resolved now in V1.36. I also removed your duplicate times from the leaderboard. It was actually a really simple bug, this is why I shouldn't try to code at 1am lol.
