Press the green flag a few times. FULLSCREEN RECOMMENDED ───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ─── READ: Welcome to the Pyromaniac, an 8-bit action game with guns and fire! You play as a young assassin whose task is to defeat the Pyromaniac, an evil villain wielding hands of flames who is plotting to destroy the city. You only bear a handgun with enough bullets to fulfill your mission. However, before battling the Pyromaniac himself, you must get past his staunch guards. Will you be able to save the city in one piece? Seeking Fire (the prequel where you play as the Pyromaniac and hear his backstory): https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/351912579/ Studio: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/26293179/ Note: This project was released in March 2020 but was taken down due to mass-reporting. Controls: - Left and right arrow keys to move - Up arrow key to jump - Down arrow key to crouch - Space to shoot bullets - R to restart the level - X to advance through dialogue (or to make a random "boop" sound if there is no dialogue) - You start off with six hearts and get all six back when you start fighting the Pyromaniac. - You may not directly shoot while crouching; although you can in real life, that would give the player a boosted advantage. - Be prepared for the next level! You only get one second of immunity before the level starts. - Each guard has their own rhythm pattern to shooting bullets. Observe them to avoid taking damage. - You get two seconds of immunity when you restart a level or take damage. - You don't have to eliminate all guards to proceed onto the next level. However, their bullet rate will increase. - It takes exactly 200 bullets to eliminate the Pyromaniac. - There is a glitch where pressing space then crouching while you have immunity causes the bullet to freeze. ───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ─── Fun Facts: - The character the player plays as actually has pyrophobia (the fear of fire) but still is devoted to fulfill her mission. - The donut at the end wasn't actually poisoned. - The Pyromaniac possessed his powers from a long process, which is shown in Seeking Fire.
