OverClocked

Ever complained about your computer being laggy? Think you can do better?  OVERCLOCKED is a frantic game inspired by Overcooked and is a game about role reversals.  In this game, the player plays as the computer, and the computer plays as the player. Let's see if you have the ability to perform at even a fraction of your computer's speed, and maybe you can appreciate them more.

Rules:

• Hero moves based on inputs by the player. WASD to move, Shoot to fire a bullet (and thus use up a bullet), and reload to refill your ammo.
• Monsters move towards the player, first vertically, then horizontally
• Monsters spawn every 7 frames (when the white bar is full)
• When a Monster touches the hero, the Monster despawns, and the hero takes 1 HP of damage
• Bullets will travel to the right by default, and will only go to the left if there are more Monsters on the left of the Hero
• When a Bullet hits a Monster, both of them will despawn
• When a Bullet leaves the screen, it will despawn

Controls:

• Controls are done with the WASD or arrow keys, and the backspace key. The SPACE key is used to confirm your action
• There are two parts to the screen, on the left is the display grid, where you can use the WASD to move the currently highlighted sprite on the grid, or press backspace to prepare to despawn the sprite. Every time you press SPACE, the game will check if you have made the right moves based on the player's input or the rules above. The next sprite will then be highlighted. 
• Once you are done with all the sprites, the next highlighted area will be the variables on the right.
• Control of the HP and Ammo is done with the A/D or left and right keys, with the SPACE key used to confirm your action.
• Next, you can use the A/D or left and right keys to spawn a bullet either to the left or right, depending on which side has more Monsters.
• Finally, whenever the Monster bar is full both the A/D or left and right keys can be used to spawn a single Monster randomly on the map. 

Goals:

• Survival! Try to last as many frames as you can. If you make 3 errors (Bugs) or take too long (Lags), you will fail your job as a computer.
