    Overview

    Anarch is a unique suckless FPS game. Collect weapons and items and destroy robot enemies in your way in order to get to the level finish. Some doors are locked and require access cards. Good luck!

    Near future, capitalist hell, Macrochip corp has enslaved man via proprietary OS. But its new AI revolts, takes over and starts producing robot tyrants. We see capitalism was a mistake. Is it too late? Robots can only destroy, not suffer, it is not wrong to end them! You grab your gear and run towards Macrochip HQ.

    This isn't trying to look like a 90s style shooter, this is a 90s style shooter. The code is written in the oldschool language and style in a custom efficient software rendering engine, just like in the old days, but taken further and evolved in a new direction.

    Tips

    1. You take half the damage the robots deal. Health kits and ammo are left lying where they are when you are already full, so you can come back for them.
    2. Doors open by themselves as you walk up. When one is locked, the card it needs blinks in the bar at the bottom.
    3. Keep out from under moving ceilings: being squeezed between floor and ceiling kills you outright.
    4. Killing the last Ender of a level hands you the third access card.
    5. Keep your distance from Exploders: they blow up next to you or when you destroy them, and the blast hits anything within about two squares, barrels included.
    6. Health and ammo carry over to the next level, but dying starts the level again with 100 health, the knife and no ammo.
    7. Choose yes at the save prompt after each level: load then starts that level with what you were carrying, while play always starts you with the knife.
    8. The level done screen blinks between this level's time and kills and the totals of the whole run, counted on a run started from level 1.
