NIMIS

The year is 2025.

Humanity is dead and powerhungry autonomons roam the earth, warring amongst themselves in a neverending conflict with no resolution.

You play as unit LOCKJAW, a robot formally designed as a disposal robot to scoop all casualities both dead and alive off the battlefield, and to extract useful materials out of said bodies.

NIMIS is an arcade top-down shooter where you have to survive an infinite, yet growing onslaught of enemies for as long as you can, aiming to get as many confirmed kills as possible.


This game was originally made in 4 weeks as part of my "Building Playful Worlds" subject for my game design study and was inspired by Nuclear Throne, Hotline Miami, Gungeon, Ultrakill and Cruelty Squad.

All art assets were made by me, the music is from the lovely folks at https://opengameart.org/ and the sound was sourced from https://freesound.org/

Older versions of the game are playable here.
