A downloadable game for Windows

Story and Gameplay:

The universe is broken. You are trying to fix it...

CINIS is an in-development Rogue-lite First Person Shooter where the player teleports between randomly selected levels to gain weapons and survive.

Weapons:

The weapon arsenal is wide and varied, ranging from small-caliber pistols to large Double-Barreled Rocket Launchers and Quad-Barreled Nail guns.

The weapons have qualities, and as such may either be ancient and near-forgotten, or powerful dealing more damage, and having larger areas of effect.

Runes:

If weapon hardware isn't enough for you, you can also channel the power of the gods by carrying their runes. Runes such as THUN and FIR will grant you the ability to throw lightning bolts and fireballs.


Enemies:

Enemies range from the fast and sturdy Knight, to the weak but unkillable Zombies. Use the varied arsenal to gain an advantage over the enemies for a chance to survive and get to the next Rift.

Explosive weapons can even be used to gain an advantage in movement...

Larger updates are covered on YT, and I try to give small development updates and previews every week on Twitter. Itch will mainly be used for longer written development insights on specific topics. As such, they may also be a bit more rare to come out.

what i played of the game looked really good but sadly a little after i get the gun and the level starts it crashes :(

Hey! Sorry to hear the game crashes for you. Would you be willing to give a few details, such as whether you are running 1.7.2, or the experimental 1.8? And additionally, what your specs and in-game settings are? 

(1 edit)

i was running in 1.7.2

and because it kept crashing i had it running on the lowest settings in the hopes it would work

I would try and update to 1.8 in that case, as that version has proved to be more stable and performant on some systems.

As of right now, that version only has one level which hasn't been artpassed yet, but this also increases performance and lifts the load that your PC will have to carry (Additionally, that level is designed a bit better in my own opinion)
Hope that helps, if not, then I am truly sorry!

the 1.8 version did work thanks
