A downloadable game for Windows

Vortex is an experimental FPS, created for the 2018 GMTK GameJam.

Vortex plays with the idea of an FPS, but instead of a standard damage system, the player knocks enemies off the map using wind magic. This idea of a magic fps could be implimen-asdfhhjks bich im so effin tired i don even wanna write this. ya know just download this sleep leech and tell me what ya think

WASD: standard fps controls

Space: Jump (ya got a double jump)

LMB: Vortex (can only channel the power of air while in the air, push enemies away from the character, also reduces your fall speed and air control) 

RMB: Cling (unlockable later, lunges forward and down, grabbing onto walls, can jump from the wall, or even used shimmy up walls if you're clever)

Enemies will shoot at you constantly, their projectiles yeeting you backwards, the only path forward is to yeet them first
