Q1K3
A full 3D first-person shooter squeezed into 13 kilobytes: fight through two Quake-inspired levels against five enemy types with three weapons, dynamic lighting, and doors.
About this game
Q1K3 is a complete first-person shooter built in the spirit of classic Quake, remarkably packed into a tiny footprint for the js13kGames competition. You fight your way through two levels built with real level-design tools, facing five distinct enemy types with genuine line-of-sight AI that will hunt you down without needing pathfinding. Three weapons, dynamic lighting, working doors and spatial audio (with stereo separation and distance falloff) give the whole thing a surprisingly authentic old-school FPS feel.
Collision detection holds up even against fast-moving projectiles, and the soundtrack is an original composition rather than a stock loop. It is as much a technical showcase as a game: proof of how much real 3D shooter can fit in almost nothing.
Tips: Shoot enemies before they reach you. Pick up weapons, ammo and health as you find them. Find the level exit to progress to the next stage. Listen to the spatial audio, because sound can hint at where enemies are.
You click the title screen to start, which also locks your mouse cursor for aiming. You move with WASD or the arrow keys, aim with the mouse and attack with the left mouse button. Space or the right mouse button jumps, and Q/E or the mouse wheel switches weapons.
