TimeBug: A Top-Down Shooter Prototype (Unity 20th Anniversary Jam Entry)

《TimeBug》 is a Top-Down Action Shooter prototype built for the Unity 20th Anniversary Game Jam, focusing on the core mechanics of movement and resource acquisition across different settings.

🎮 What You Can Expect (Current Features)

• Core Action: Experience top-down movement and shooting mechanics. Utilize your weapon to interact with the environment.
• Scene-Based Time Jumps: Travel between time periods (represented by different scenes/levels) to access various resources.
• Gathering via Destruction: Resources are acquired by destroying objects with your gun, serving as the basic resource gathering loop.
• Implemented Time Periods: The game features the basic Future scene and at least one other time period scene (if implemented).

💡 Note from the Developer (Known Limitations)

This is a prototype focusing purely on the core action loop. Due to the time constraints of the game jam, the following key features are not yet implemented:

• ❌ Full Upgrade System: Player upgrades (e.g., character, weapon) are not functional.
• ❌ Factory Management: The planned factory/hub upgrade system is not implemented.
• ❌ Missing Time Periods: Planned eras like the Medieval and Primitive Ages are not yet accessible or implemented beyond the initial scenes.
• ❌ Story/Progression: The overall progression and story elements are minimal or absent.

We look forward to your feedback on the fundamental top-down action and shooting mechanics!
