Free Version Survivors

This is a work-in-progress bullet heaven / Survivors-like project template for Construct 3, which stays within the limitations of the free version of the engine (2 layers, 50 events, etc). It has a fairly robust JSON based rule system; there's a bit of JavaScript code that loads the rules from files, initializes the CodeMirror editor on the start screen and passes the (optionally) modified rules to a JSON object. Everything else is implemented using the event system.

Most in-game assets are still placeholders (Micro Roguelike by Kenney), but they are gradually being replaced by sprites drawn by Teebor.

The project file is available for download for free. If you find it useful and would like to buy me a coffe, you can :). But there's no pressure whatsoever.

The source code is available under the MIT license. The Kenney assets are CC0 licensed, other graphical assets are not free (at the moment at least), so please don't reuse them in other projects.
