So a recent discussion brought up memories of a game I tried to make back in the 8th grade in Macromedia Flash.
>Name:
Full Metal Priestess
>Type:
Side Scrolling Arcade Shooter
>Feel/Inspirations:
Inspired by Metal Slug, mostly.
>Description:
Sister Coriander is the only survivor of the demon apocalypse. With Father Basil captured by the unholy spawn of Satan, Sister Coriander must rely upon her faith, and her quick trigger finger to drive back the demon scourge and save her congregation from eternal damnation.
>In-depth:
Fight through 5 exciting levels as you scrub the dark lord's taint from the waking world.
Town - soldiers fight the advancing demon army in the streets of Arugula village. Boss is a big fat demon guy that barf lava and throws little grunt guys as projectiles.
Forest - The forest leading out of the town, dark and corrupted with the taint of evil. Boss is a giant kraken tentacle monster guarding a waterfall, like a "Wall" boss that you gotta shoot parts coming out of the background.
Mines - A mountain cave that leads into a deep mine. Lave and steam vents abound. Big gold veins shine ambient light on abandoned machinery. A huge dragon guards the deepest chamber, and must be fought using an old mining exosuit to keep the nun from getting roasted.
Hell - The typical depiction of hell, fire and brimstone, crawling with demons. Boss is Cerberus who guards the gates to Satan Inc. and is fought on a multilevel platform area where you have to shoot at his 3 heads individually.
Satan Inc. - The Final level where Satan turns lost souls into his demon troopers. Like a 1950's sci-fi factory with cloning tanks and demon robots. Touching a prototype mecha converts it to christianity and allows you to use it to fight off swarms of demons and more of the fat guys from the first level. The final boss of this level is Satan Himself, who fights you in a business suit, shoots dark flames from his briefcase, and summons demon guards. After the first stage, the floor collapses and he falls into a big vat of goo, which turns him into Super Satan Himself, which is a huge muscled monster that fires death rays from his mouth and smashes parts of the stage creating lava pits you can fall into. your bullets do no damage to him in this form, so you have to survive until the holy mech suit falls from the sky, where you can knock Super Satan Himself off his feet with the cannons and weaken him making him susceptible to your boolets. Unload all your ammo into him and he'll revert to his smaller form, weakened, and blast you with a bright light. Then you talk to God and he congratulates you for beating Satan, and undoes all the damage that the red guy's armies caused. Yay. The world is saved.
You get 4 different weapons
Virtue - Sister Coriander's pistol and primary weapon, has unlimited ammo, and does decent damage.
Lightbringer - Father Basil's Shotgun that he left in the Mines. Fires a powerful blast that knocks demons off their feet and can hit multiple targets. Recoil knocks Sister Andy back, and can be used to increase the height of your jump if fired down while in midair.
Crusader - Heavy machine gun picked up from the outpost in the Forest and blessed with holy light. Rapidly sprays boolet. Firing for a sustained period increases the spread of boolet.
Beelzebomb - A purified demon grenade launcher picked up from the gates of hell. Explosives bounce before exploding, so they can be arced around obstacles for trick shots or whatever.
Crucifix - Sister Mary's Rosary, used as a melee weapon to exorcise demons with a single swing.
>Permanents:
Nothing really permanent since this is just a basic idea
