DELESTAGE

DELESTAGE is a frenetic top-down shooter originally developed for a Game Jam with the theme "Countdown". Dive into a tense universe inspired by the frequent power outages (délestages) in Congo-Brazzaville, where time and light are your most precious resources.

The Concept

Your goal is simple, but surviving is not: you must charge your phone to 100%. To do this, you need to find an electrically powered room and stay there as long as possible to increase your battery level. But beware, you are not alone... and the power always eventually goes out.

Core Mechanics

• The Blackout Pressure: A timer dictates how long the room you are in remains powered. At 0, the power trips. You are plunged into total darkness, the doors unlock, and you must flee through the shadows to find a new illuminated room.
• Risk & Reward - Monster Evolution: The hordes of monsters hunting you also have a countdown. If it reaches zero, they evolve into nightmarish creatures, becoming faster and more devastating. Run from them, or fight them to bank bonus time which is essential for your survival in the upcoming rooms.
• Witch Time & Dodging: Mastering your movement is vital. A perfectly timed dash just before taking a hit (Perfect Dodge) drastically slows down time (Witch Time), giving you a window to escape or launch a deadly counter-attack.
• Roguelite Progression: During the blackout, choose your path! Different doors light up, leading to standard rooms, casino rooms where you gamble your banked time, or other rewards (Power-Ups like piercing bullets or a double dash).

Controls

• Movement: WASD or Arrow Keys
• Shoot: Left Click (mouse aim)
• Dodge (Dash): Right Click (triggers Witch Time on a perfect dodge)
