Project Pursuit is a 5-minute single-level arcade platformer shooter.

NOTE: Please try to play the Windows downloadable executable instead of the HTML5 browser game. It is only there for those who do not have Windows computers -- the downloaded version is much more stable. This is due to a bug in Game Maker: Studio's HTML5 export, and cannot currently be fixed.

Oh no! Little monsters have stolen your classmate's laptop batteries! Unfortunately, they were just in the middle of uploading their final project, and if they can't get those batteries back, they'll fail the class! You play as a quiet bunny in this single-level arcade platformer shooter as you dodge traps and shoot monsters to get their batteries back.

CREDITS: A majority of the art and audio assets are from Cave Story and are made by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya.

Virtually all of the assets used by this game seem familiar.

Maybe a little too familiar.

Heard of a game called Cave Story, by chance? One of the great indie classics? Originally freeware, but got a few commercial releases later on down the line?

Don't get me wrong, the game's not too terrible, but... well, let's be honest here, you could make your own custom sprites and music and it would still be a decent game. Right?

The game is free to play and I don't accept donations! Proper credits are listed in the game itself -- this was my first game and was a very good way for me to learn how to code with Game Maker! I'll list out proper attribution in the game description as well, though, if this would be preferable!
