Gameplay:

• Controls:
  • W, A, S, D - Movement
  • LMB - Attack / Pick up new weapon after held weapon breaks
  • R - Restart level
• Scoring: Score is calculated based on when you hit an enemy with a weapon. The base damage(100) is added to the players bonus damage then added to the score. Bonus damage(+10) is gained from the Cherry Pie, for example if you picked up 2 pies you would gain 120 score if you pick up 2 more you will gain 140 score per hit, this in infinitely scaling and weapon independent. On top of that, the money bills are worth 5k score each.
• Enemies: The enemy spawner starts at power level 1 then every ~10 seconds it gains 1 power, this runs independently even if you leave 1 enemy alive, so if you take your time the next wave may have more enemies than you expect.  Enemies start with 40  + 10  multiplied by the spawner level in health. Enemies deal 10 damage if they hit the player. Enemies also get +0.3 movement speed every 100 ticks when chasing the player. On death, enemies have a 50% chance to drop 1 of 4 power-ups.
• Weapons: All weapons have 100 base damage and then bonus damage from pie collecting. When you hit an enemy or group of enemies, the weapon takes 20 damage giving each weapon 5 hits unless refreshed using a Heal. It is possible that because of the enemy health being multiplicative based on spawner level that an enemy would require 2 ticks or more and each tick would count as a hit in which case 40 damage would be dealt  to the weapon and so on if more are required and this applies to scoring also. After a weapon breaks you can pick up a new one on the ground using the LMB. Sound plays on break.
• Power-ups:
  • Heal - Heals 20 health to player, fully heals the held weapon.
  • Money - Adds 5k score.
  • Cookie - Add 0.1 to player movement.
  • Cherry Pie - Gives the player 10 bonus damage for weapon and scoring.
• Voices:
  • 35 different phrases, 7x per power-up (28) and 7x for hitting enemies with a weapon.
