You Only Have One Shot

Description

You Only Have One Shot is a bold, environmentally charged arcade shooter born from the Columbia College Chicago Earth Day game jam, centered on the theme of single-use plastics. The world is on fire, but pockets of beauty remain—beauty that greedy capitalists are determined to exploit. Armed with single-use guns, you face off against these destructive forces in a high-stakes battle for the planet's last treasures. Each weapon fires just once, demanding precision and purpose. But unlike your foes, you play responsibly: after every fight, you must recycle your used guns in the storage bin at the end of each level. With tight controls—WASD to move, E to pick up weapons, Q to drop them, and left-click to fire—the game blends fast-paced action with a powerful message. A special nod goes to holiznacc0 for the banda sonora, sourced entirely from the royalty-free album *Only In The Milky Way Part 3*. Victory means more than survival—it means doing it the right way.
