A downloadable game for Windows

Shoot to win! But don't use all your power!

Controlamina is a simple 2D arena shooter : shoot all enemies that appear and move to avoid being touched by them.

But be careful: each button and key press depletes the stamina for that button, and if it reaches zero, you will be unable to move or shoot in that direction. Wait for it to refill to use again.

Each side of your character has 2 bars. The taller one (blue/cyan) is the stamina for the movement in that direction, and the wider one (yellow) is the stamina for the shot int that direction.

Current version is unbalanced (too easy). For a better challenge, rise the game speed or the stamina factor in the options.


Commands

Use WASD to move and ARROW KEYS to shoot. If you're using a gamepad, use the digital directional and the face buttons.

Press ESC or START (gamepad) to pause/un-pause.

Press F12 for a "hard-quit" (instantly closes the game).
