Boomer Shooter

Boomer Shooter - A fast-paced FPS prototype built in Godot 4.7

Sprint, slide, and blast your way through this open-source first-person shooter experiment. What started as a weekend deep dive into state machine architecture has grown into a full prototype: three weapons, a slow-motion weapon wheel, full controller support, and waves of beetles that want you dead.

Features

• Smooth movement system - sprint, crouch, slide, and double jump, with an FOV kick so you can feel the speed
• Three weapons - Handgun, SMG, and a Shotgun that fires a proper 8-pellet spread, each with its own ammo and recoil
• Slow-motion weapon wheel - hold a button, time crawls, pick your gun
• Aim down sights - zoom in for precision shots
• Full controller support - analog movement and camera, aim assist on the right stick, and gamepad-friendly menus
• Diegetic ammo counter - your ammo floats next to the gun and turns red when it is time to reload
• Loot drops - enemies drop glowing ammo and health pickups
• Hit feedback - directional damage indicators and a pulsing low-health warning
• Run history - your time and kills are saved every run and listed on the main menu
• State machine-driven player controller

A learning project focused on understanding FPS fundamentals and state management patterns. Built with insights from GDQuest's excellent Godot 4 FPS Arms demo.
