Made for the GMTK2026 game jam. Theme - 'Count Down'. 

Description:

In Oil Thief, your life is constantly counting down as you burn fuel. Even more so - firing your gun, dashing, and the shops also cost oil! Stop the evil CEO from fracking the company into the ground! Fight through 3 procedurally generated levels and pick up upgrades along the way. But watch out - the faster you move, the heavier your gun - the more oil you'll burn! 

CONTROLS:

WASD - Move

Mouse - Aim

Left mouse - Shoot (costs oil depending on the weapon) and click UI elements

Right mouse - Melee (sucks up oil from the enemy depending on their remaining health)

Space bar - Dodge (you're not invincible, but there is an upgrade for that).

Acknowledgements: 

All art assets were made by me - but most were heavily inspired or take parts of online images edited to save time, including the base boss mech design by elfiem among a handful of others.

Sounds (and the music) were ripped from Pixabay, mostly courtesy of the freesoundcommunity, but others like the UI sounds courtesy of floraphonic. 

I lightly touched each of them to balance the audio levels, cut out dead space, and and play with the EQ.

Check the game page comments for known bugs! There are a few, but the main gameplay loop is playable. 

Thanks to Vixx and Moza for a 3am playtest!
