Description:
Cognizance is a horizontal shooter game that combines a traditional shooter with puzzle and RPG elements. Get through all of the phases and defeat the boss at the end to win!
In the first phase, you build up your stats by killing enemies to fill up empty blocks at the top of the screen. These blocks can contain stats, the amount of stat increases depends on the number that was on the enemy.
In the second phase, blast the enemies that have misspelled words! Be careful though, killing an enemy with a correctly spelled word will cause it to counterattack!
The final phase is a boss, there are certain elemental tiles you can stand on to aid you in defeating it. The boss gains different attacks depending on the difficulty level selected.
You will need to think fast in this game, as the way to build your character's stats depends a lot on getting high numbers placed into the boxes with favorable attributes on them!
Controls are simple: Use the WASD or arrow keys to move, and Ctrl or space to fire. You may also use the mouse to move/shoot.
Use Alt+Enter to toggle fullscreen mode.
