Well, I ran into some technical problems with mine, so is more like a tech demo of the game I wanted to make. I wanted you to shoot a flock of birds with special weapon powers and get combos (a play on the theme, with two being extended into multiples in general). I also wanted to use Luck from OneGameAMonth, but never quite got that far.

The one (ha) weird thing is you start with what appears to be a gun equipped, but you still need to choose a gun style and ammo type (u-p, 1-7) before you can fire anything. There’s a readme with the executable that I’ve pasted below.

README for Which Stone
Made for Epic’s November 2014 Game Jam
Theme: Two Birds One Stone
(Optional theme of Luck taken from OneGameAMonth)
Press F to spawn birds (well, flying marshmallows anyway)
Press the following numbers to equip the associated ammo type
Ammo:
1: Regular ammo
2: Splitting ammo - creates additional bullets at impact location
3: Freezing ammo - freezes the target (chain freezing additional targets not functional)
4: Lightning ammo - non functional (works like regular ammo)
5: Explosive ammo - explodes on impact (destroys first contact only. the explosion doesn’t actually do anything)
6: Injection ammo - injects explosives into target, exploding after one second (explosion has same effect as explosive ammo)
7: Duplicating ammo - creates a copy of target, making more targets to shoot with the other ammo
Press the following keys to change weapon style
U: Slug fire - shoot a gigantic slug for easy targetting
I: Single fire - shoot a single, small projectile. Hardest weapon
O: Spread shot - fire a group of small projectiles in a cone
p: Burst fire - shoot a series of single, small projectiles
Escape key - press twice to exit the game
Future wishlist:
Randomly build the number of birds and take control of that away from the player to be able to effectively score things.
Button to randomly assign which weapon style.
Once the weapon style has been selected, press the fire key to randomly assign an ammo type. The player then gets one shot (unless duplicating ammo gets chosen, after which the player can fire again to get another random ammo type.)
Combo style scoring system.
Finish the freezing, lightning, explosive, and injection ammo types.
Track high scores.
Voice announcing for good combos.
Actual bird models instead of fluffy marshmallows.
