HELP: Wrath of Zredgard

retro-themed game inspired by Funkin's "HELP but Retro" song and led to where it is now by me and the other members of H.E.L.P.

the game is fast-paced with a few mechanics and a robust enemy script that uses sight and has many different ways to handle many different situations. enemies have an advantage in numbers, but not in dodging obstacles (yet they'll try), and it often comes down to tricking enemies to defeat them

this has been released for h.e.l.p. members to playtest, but I guess if you're not a help member but wanna play anyway, go ahead

note: enemies are fit for many situations due to the fact i can't help but make them smarter every time they do something dumb, and it's led to complaints from all my playtesters that the game is too difficult, but better level design seems to have fixed it

the story:

the relentless, all-destructive group T.A.E. launched a raid on the H.E.L.P. HQ. there are tons of explosions and all the H.E.L.P. members are captured and taken to the T.A.E. underground. one is General Jack Cooper, the leader and founder of H.E.L.P., who must get past many grunts and escape with the H.E.L.P. members, then defeat Zredgard, the leader of the T.A.E.
