A Shot in the Dark is a top-down shooter where enemies creep up right behind you. Watch your back!

Controls:

  • Mouse to aim, left click to shoot
  • Arrow Keys or WASD to move
  • Press any key to restart
  • Controller support is available (though not recommended)
  • Left Stick to move, Right stick to aim, right trigger to shoot
  • Press A/B/X/Y to restart

Tips:

  • The game won't start until the player moves (this includes recoil from your gun)
  • The game's difficulty peaks 90 seconds in
  • Enemies will back away when you look directly at them, but otherwise will try to hide from your light (make sure to keep them in your sights!)
  • Enemies phase through walls, so putting your back against it won't help
  • My high score is around 168 seconds!


    This game was made for Trijam 258 (Theme: Right behind you). Made with Unity. Desktop version has a dithering effect I couldn't get working on web.
