Hi, I am bitl! Some of you might remember this 2 years back as a project I was working on in my spare time, however I haven't been working on it for a while because I was working on several other projects, that kind of disconnected me from the entire thing. However, I decided to work on the long-awaited Alpha update for the game. After 2 years, 2 hard drive failures on 2 seperate computers, hopefully this would be worth the wait!

 

What is BIORENA? Well, it originally was going to be a multiplayer platform shooter but it slowly evolved to become a horde-mode platform shooter. Along with this, it has full blown mod support, allowing players to create new maps and gamemodes!

 

What has changed?

 

- New main menu!

- Simplified Mapper controls!

- A new enemy: the CORRUPTED BOHROK!

- Now built in Game Maker Studio! ( I had to remove the shields because of problems I had while porting to this. Sorry!)

- Modifications and enhancements to weapons and enemies!

- A background!

- A pause menu!

- Much more fast-paced!

- A help menu!

- New death animations!

- And MORE!

- Increased the game speed from 30 to 36 to make the game feel smoother and more responsive.

- Decreased the speed of the CORRUPTED BOHROK slightly.
- Increased the damage of the Pistol slightly.
- Decreased the damage of the SMG slightly.

Is this compatible with Mac? It looks very promising from the screenshots..

I haven't made a Mac version as of yet, but I'm pretty sure it'll work if you run it with Wine.

Kewl, is there going to be multiplayer?  (Or is it already in and I haven't poked around enough to find it?)

 

Haven't really planned for multiplayer, but i'll consider it

Sorry for the long delay, but here's an update. The game will hopefully receive a brand new update soon. Along with that, there is now an Android version of the game!

Note that this has less features (no Mapper, sadly) and the only way you can share/load mods is if you root your device. However modding capability will be enhanced in a future update. Also, all updates to the PC version will be released on the Android version.
