A downloadable all nighter for Windows

In All Nighter, the player travels through their many internet tabs to find sources (represented as coins) for their paper to power up and defeat bosses representing the Intro, Body, and Conclusion of their paper. While searching, the player will be attacked by distractions, which are the game’s enemies. The player will also be timed to complete each level, but by defeating distractions, the player can earn a little extra time.

This game has procedurally generated rooms full of enemies to beat and trials to overcome. And this is just the beginning... This demo features the first 2 levels of the final game and a variety of challenging bosses to test your skills against. I hope you enjoy and anticipate the final release.

Check out the game's official website for more information and access to the art gallery!

Mac version is coming soon...

There is also a Newgrounds version of the game. However, this version is a little buggy, so I recommend you download the PC version. I will patch the bugs as soon as I can. If  you don't care about the bugs, click here to go to Newgrounds.;)

TIPS:

  • I HIGHLY recommend you play with a mouse and not a trackpad. It will give you a better experience.
  • Always keep moving. Try strafing left and right or up and down to dodge enemy attacks.
  • While dashing, you are invincible. You will even destroy bullets you dash into! If you are in danger, try dashing away (or even into enemies if the situation allows it) and don't be afraid to dash into bullets. It has a 2 second cooldown, so use it wisely. (NOTE: You can now dash with the SPACE bar! I hope this makes it easier for anybody who finds the SHIFT key difficult to use.)
  • In the shop and the exit room, the timer will stop. If you need a breather, rest up in one of those rooms. You could also press P to pause the game.
  • If you are missing 1 heart of health or if you have full health, you are confirmed to  get a coin when completing a room.  Being at half health or below will cause hearts to start dropping. If you want to get a lot of coins, try to not to take a lot of hits. I know that's kind of hard though.
  • Lastly, it is very very VERY important to use your special attack. It has a 3 second cooldown, but will allow you to "ink" enemies. Inked enemies will take more damage, so use your special to defeat room enemies even quicker and to do more damage to the boss!
