Welcome to Fistful of Kremlinks: CARNAGE MODE, the game that just keeps getting harder until you die.
You
Covered head-to-toe in full-body hazflak (a hazardous materials handling suit reinforced with ballistic
armor), armed with an advanced bolt rifle that can fire conventional projectiles or be fitted with energy weapon cartridge
paks, nobody knows why this mysterious planet-hopping mercenary stepped into the arena on this fateful day in 2043, but
they had to know they wouldn't be walking out again.
Enemies
Enemies continuously storm the arena, slowly at first, then more quickly as the carnage escalates.
Thug
Dumb, slow, and armed only with his fists, the thug generally only poses threats in large numbers.
Killer Robot
Originally developed to mine mineral deposits on asteroids, this robot isn't equipped with any ranged weapons,
but its excavation tools have been modified to rend flesh.
Zombie
These aggressive walking corpses are victims of a parasitic brain slug. The infected quickly die, but the
slug continues to manipulate the body's central nervous system, sending the shambling husk ever forward in a relentless search for
a new host.
Chopper Drone
An autonomous helicopter drone fitted with a small energy weapon. Lucky for you, they seem to have gotten the
nav chip from one of those robot vacuums.
Cosmonaut
After re-entry and landing, Soviet cosmonauts ran the risk of being stranded in the Siberian wilderness for days at
a time before being recovered. In preparation to defend against Siberian wildlife, they were routinely issued a compact shotgun.
Bosses
Bosses are stronger enemies with better weapons. One will enter the arena every minute.
Sleez
A petty space criminal, currently on the run after ripping off some smuggler in the Kalidasa system, and armed with an
amped-up version of the Soviet cosmonaut shotgun.
Kilroy
Just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control, now he's wearing an eyepatch and holding a rocket launcher.
Donita
The galaxy's premier assassin, Donita is fast, lean, and frightning. Little is known about her arsenal, as so few who
see it live to tell the tale.
Powerups
Some enemies drop powerups when they're defeated, pick them up before they disappear.
Health
This ominously glowing canister of ooze restores your health.. somehow. Do you drink it?
Shotgun Shells
The finest Soviet military surplus kremlinks can buy.
Frac Lazer Pak
The wavelength of anti-refractive energy beams ("frac lazers") causes them to reflect off most surfaces. When used in an energy weapon,
they create bolts that will ricochet wildly.
Frosthrower Pak
The frosthrower douses your enemy in a super-cooled volatile liquid, slowing movement and inflicting severe cold burns.
Credits
Shorter than you might think.
Fistful of Kremlinks: CARNAGE MODE was created entirely by
Matt from the
Owlmoth Collective. He wrote the engine, designed and recorded the audio, drew the sprites, and wrote this digital manual
in the third-person for some reason. It took an extraordinarily long time and was probably ill-advised, and now he feels pretty bad about it.
