WOTAN · Arena shooter
shankpit-460
A small, quick arena shooter. Press play and you are in a bot match straight away; if another human is searching you are both moved into a free-for-all — first to 16 kills, or six minutes.

Move & aimW A S D move · mouse aims · Space jump (hold it to float higher) · Ctrl or C or Shift crouch and slide.
Weapons1 knife · 2 magnum · 3 AR · 4 shotgun · 5 sniper · 6 katana. Left mouse fires, R reloads, the mouse wheel cycles. Right mouse zooms the sniper. E is the ability: storm charges for the sniper, a dash for the katana.
MatchesAgainst bots it is first to 13 or five minutes. Against people it is first to 16 or six minutes, free for all, up to ten players. A shield soaks damage first; a head shot with no shield left counts triple. Tab shows the scores.
Finding a matchThe moment you press play you are in a bot match and the page says searching for match. If someone else is searching you are both moved into a lobby together; more can arrive while it counts down, and a match still in its first four and a half minutes takes late arrivals. When it ends you see the score and can requeue.

What this isThe game is one WebAssembly module with no imports and no allocator, compiled from PARENA: its physics and weapons are a port of shankpit-460's C engine (checked against it tick for tick), the renderer is a software rasteriser, and the bots are written from scratch. The only JavaScript here is generated from PARENA too.
