Shatter the Porcupine

Shatter the Porcupine is a Run n Gun platformer game.
== Gameplay ==
Shatter is a 2D run n gun platformer game with a unique way to shoot. You have one normal gun that can shoot at enemies, and can shoot at a specific enemy to get its type of gun. There are 2 effects when you press and hold B. Charge your shot, or shoot continuously. You can choose in the options menu. Each level has rings. Get 100 rings, and that awards you a coin. Coins are used to get items. Speaking of weapons, you can combine them to get a useful shot. You can switch back to Copy Shot to combine 2 shots together. If you manage to have a Combination shot and still shoot a special colored enemy, you get the choice to drop it or replace one of the elements of your current Combination shot, unless, for example, you shoot Copy Shot at a blue enemy when you already have Ray Laser. In that case, it automatically gets dropped. You start with 3 lives and 3 HP per level. If you run out of lives, you will lose your weapon that is not Copy Shot.
== Weapons ==
# Mimic Blast - This is your normal white shot. It can be upgraded by shooting a blue enemy (Laser), yellow enemy (Homing), or a red enemy (Spread).
## Charge: Shoot a big version of the Copy Shot, which disappears when it pierces through 2 special colored enemies, blue, yellow, or red.
##Special: Shoots a big blast that deals a hefty amount of damage.
# Laser - Shoots a laser that has a fast fire rate and pierces through enemies and ignores armor.
## Charge: Shoot a big solid laser doing decent damage to enemies and has decent coverage, but lasts for a few milliseconds.
## Special: Shoot a solid laser that has great coverage and amazing damage. Lasts 1 second.
# Homing - Shoots slightly slow bullets and deals normal damage, but follows enemies around.
## Charge: Shoot a bigger blast that chases enemies around and is great against bosses.
## Special: Creates a flying robot that shoots bullets when it detects an enemy or boss and takes damage for you.
# Spread - Shoots 3 bullets, 1 going diagonally upwards, the second going straight, and the third going diagonally downwards. It's the fastest shooting weapon in the game. Each bullet deals less damage than a Laser or Homing bullet.
## Charge: Shoot 3 bigger blasts that normal that deal more damage than normal. Best used against bosses.
## Special: Gives you a clone that can take one hit of damage for you and copies your every move.
== Combinations ==
# Thundershot - Combination of Laser and Homing, shooting thunder at an enemy, following them. There's no way they can dodge, because it instantly zaps them! It ignores armor too. Defeating green minibosses gives you this shot if you choose to use it.
## Charge: Shoot a laser that bounces from enemy to enemy.
## Special: Create a thundercloud that damages the enemies and bosses they're on. These thunderclouds follow enemies after killing one.
# Thrice-Slice - Combination of Laser and Spread, shooting 3 lasers at a time. It ignores armor and shoots fast. Defeating purple minibosses gives you this shot if you choose to use it.
## Charge: Shoot 3 solid lasers in each direction.
## Special: You create a clone, much like Spread, taking a hit of damage for you, but when either you or the clone gets hit, they explode, dealing great damage to the boss or foe.
# Cracking Cube - Combination of Homing and Spread, shooting a cube that deals great damage to bosses, but stays in that form for a limited amount of time. After it reaches a certain range, it cracks into 3 bullets that deal decent damage and follow 3 targets. Defeating orange minibosses gives you this shot if you choose to use it. 
## Charge: Shoot a bigger cube that can deal a lot of damage in its form and cracks into 5 bullets instead of 3! Great for crowd managing
## Special: Creates a cube robot that shoots 3 lasers at a time at enemies and takes a hit for you. It explodes into 8 Spread bullets when you take damage.
#Ray Laser - Combination of two Lasers, shooting a solid laser, making it the quickest shooting shot in the game. Defeating cyan minibosses gives you this shot if you choose to use it.
##Charge: Same as normal Laser, but the big solid laser deals slightly more damage and lasts for 1 second instead of a few milliseconds.
##Special: Same as normal Laser, but deals much more damage, and always attacks in a horizontal line, even if you're in the middle.
#Homing Missile - Combination of two Homings, dealing splash damage to foes, and dealing more damage! It ignores armor too. Defeating cream (color) minibosses gives you this shot if you choose to use it.
##Charge: Shoot a big rocket that follows enemies and deals more damage.
##Special: Same as normal Homing, but the robot shoots small missiles instead of bullets and explodes when you take a hit.
#Octa-Spread - Combination of two Spreads, shooting in 8 directions instead of 3 as the name implies. Defeating pink minibosses gives you this shot if you choose to use it.
##Charge: Shoot a big bullet for each of the 8 directions.
##Special: Same as normal Spread, but your clone can take 2 hits instead of 1.
