Kid 4 $29.99

Kid 4 $29.99 (shortened to K42) is a small game made in GZDoom for the 2020 7 Day FPS jam. On an external level, Kid 4 $29.99 is a vaporwave/synthwave-style run-and-gun shooter where you play as a young boy taking shelter in a mall. But inside the mall, things turn in a slightly different direction... On an internal level, K42 is designed as one part a playable game, one part a personal test to see if my artistic abilities have advanced enough to develop something (they have!), one part a metaphorical foray into personal matters, one part me wanting to make a shooty whiz-bang ka-pow run-and-gun fun-in-the-sun video game,and one part a mixing bowl to toss in a lot of half-baked ideas I've had over the years. It's an experimental little game. But I had fun developing it. I hope you have fun playing it.
