What is Cataclysm?

Cataclysm is a bullet hell dungeon crawler game, where you can explore and fight in a bunch of different areas that currently don't exist, but I'm working on that part.  I have been working on it for a few minutes. I started working on the game in may 2020 (on the 14th to be precise) which is a very large number of minutes ago. I restarted the project on the 5th of December last year, so I have been working on the CURRENT version of the game for this long (I tried embedding this but ended up spending way too long on it and it still didn't work so you just have to go to a different website now!!!!)

That's Cataclysm.

So, uhh... How do you play?

At the moment, the only available version of the game is Beta 2.0, which is basically just a combat test because I restarted, all the stuff that you'll need to know are in these two documents here. Read them if you want, I'd recommend it, don't if you don't want to I'm not going to make you

Also here are the controls

• WASD - Movement
• LMB - Shoot
• Mouse Wheel / Q - Change weapon
• Space - Dash (in the direction you are moving)

About the weapons:

While using your primary weapon (the smaller one that does less damage) you have full access to your movement abilities, but while you are using your secondary weapon (the higher damage one) you will be unable to move, but you will deal significantly more damage. In the latest experimental versions your secondary will slowly reload over time while not using it but this is not implemented into the current stable version.

Which version should I download???????

The stable version of the game is the latest build (and is the combat test I was speaking of in the So, uhh... How do you play? section) and the experimental version contains the latest stuff which you can help test and balance and stuff.  The legacy version of the game contains the latest pre-2.0 version of the game from all the way back in August of 2021. It's not very good, but if you want to play it just for fun it is there.
