Mud Lurker

Five men, a jungle river and an enemy militia dug in on the far bank. One hit kills anyone. The banks are bursting, so clear the camp before the flood takes it.

How to play

On a computer, left click to walk your squad and hold right click or Space to fire at the reticle. On a phone, tap to walk and use the firing zone in the corner of the screen.

Everyone dies to a single hit, them and you. The river starts small, then the banks burst and the water only ever comes in. Get whoever's left to the boat. The ones who don't make it get their names read out, and the next five come up from the reserve.

How I built it

Mud Lurker is a 3D squad shooter with a retro pixel finish, built with three.js and about 11,000 lines of TypeScript. The reference point was Cannon Fodder on the Amiga, and it's the third game I've built on the same harness and the first that isn't cricket. The whole game is 5.8 MB.
