Heavy Ordnance
A downloadable game for Windows
Heavy Ordnance is an in-development retro-inspired shooter in first- & third-person perspective where you play as an escaped science experiment on a rampage against the evil corporation that created you.
Absorb energy to get stronger, tougher & fatter as you smash your enemies with brutal melee attacks and blast them with powerful firearms.
Version 0.1 contains the first level (~10 minutes of gameplay) and the data structure for future releases, so you can pick up where you left off once they come out.
Planned features:
- more levels & enemy types: probably some fat creatures to fight
- branching story paths: based on energy collected, objectives completed etc.
- macro/micro stuff: getting really big/really small (fully implemented but not integrated into level design yet)

gib more pls
In all seriousness, the game as it stands is phenomenal. Gameplay is engaging, mechanics work pretty well and, from the available portion at least, is designed pretty well around the current limitations.
All in all, a very promising project! Will be keeping my eye on this one for sure.
Also, forgot to say that this game reminds me so much of Half Life for some reason.
Thanks! The basic idea is Half Life + MDK by way of e621. The soundtrack (which I did not make) is doing a ton of work to sell the late 90s shooter vibe.
This was really good actually, loved it. Wish you could get bigger though, lol, but I'm sure that'll come in future updates. Amazing so far though
this game was so good, i cannot wait for more to be added
I love this. Cant wait for more!
WOW! genuinley STUNNING mechanics, gameplay, ai and more. I REALLY can't wait for more!!!
Really good game!! I loved the music, the part with the whale-like sounds was amazing, and the whole thing sounded kinda like half life OST. It'd be nice if you added that when you do the stomp attack the character stops moving, as it may be a little too hard to use. Also, would you mark the file as "for windows"? I think there's somewhere you have to mark it to be able to download from the itch app. Overall very good game, I loved it!
Thanks! I was specifically going for Half Life OST selecting the soundtrack, Half Life 1 is a major influence! I might add a downward force on the stomp. Also marked the file for Windows, thanks for reminding me.
Thanks to you! I just checked out your other games, they're amazing! Keep up!
If I could make 2 little suggestions, could you maybe make the player a bit slower as they get heavier? Feels a little bit floaty as it stands right now (just a tiny smidge to be noticeable).
My second suggestion is more of a detail rather than gameplay related. Could the steps of the character be either louder or sound heavier as they get bigger? Think that'd add some more.... atmosphere(?) to the game, really.
These are both things that are in the game, but not as noticable until after the 50% mark which is the approximate maximum in the first level. You don't actually get slower, but you have to deal with a bit of momentum at higher weights, and all the sounds pitch down linearly with your weight. Hopefully the full package will be very satisfying!
Had fun with this! But I had noticable slowdown in the first map after being able to move around, not sure why that is.
The game isn't super well-optimized in its current state, unfortunately. I should probably look into adding some more quality settings, but lowering the resolution might help.
I might look into that when I replay this in the future, that sounds like a good idea. I'm looking forward to seeing what the updates for this game will bring.
Amazing demo. I donated (albeit not much) because I NEED to see more.
You son of a biscuit, I love it. Donated too!
Seems like you have a solid game here! Looking forward to more levels!
I'll look into this. I experienced some long load times starting new games in testing, it might just be taking a super long time.
i doubt that it's taking long to load, just double checked that to see if the game would load after all and i quit after 20 mins of waiting.
Yeah, it seems like it's an issue with the code I'm using to create save files. I'm currently working on a fix for this.
oh this is LOVELY i had a great time with it!! keep up the great work!!
soo, the "begin game" button doesn't work when starting new game and pressing continue just blacks out the screen without anything getting loaded
I'll see what I can do about this. I experienced some long load times starting new games in testing, it might just be taking a super long time.
ULTRAFAT
A legit fun little adventure I can't wait to see more of this game!
