Berzerk‑Style Shooter Devlog | Clickteam Fusion 2.5+ Project

Devlog for my new Berzerk‑style shooter made in Clickteam Fusion 2.5+. Movement, shooting, AI, and maze‑based rooms.

Over the last few days, I started working on a small side project: a Berzerk‑style top‑down shooter built in Clickteam Fusion 2.5+ Developer. I wanted something simple, fast, and retro, the kind of project you can jump into without overthinking. Fusion is perfect for that.

Right now, the core mechanics are already in place:

  • 4 direction player movement
  • 4 direction shooting, just like the original arcade
  • Basic enemy AI that chases the player around the maze
  • Maze style rooms with doors on each side
  • Instant death collisions, staying true to the classic Berzerk rules

The gameplay loop is already fun: enter a room, dodge robots, shoot your way out, and try not to get cornered. Even with simple AI, the chaos builds up quickly, exactly the vibe I was aiming for.

Next steps include adding more room variations, different robot types, and maybe even an “Evil Otto” style enemy to keep the pressure high. It’s a small project, but it’s turning out to be surprisingly enjoyable to build.

More updates soon as the game evolves.
