Infinite Onslaught

Set in a vividly detailed, pixel-art world, and equipped with a range of devastating weapons, including futuristic guns and explosive gadgets, players battle through waves of enemies and towering bosses.
Infinite Onslaught is a fast-paced, on-rails shooter that immerses players in a relentless battle against overwhelming odds, delivering non-stop action from start to finish.
Story Plot
In this intense journey, our hero, Matt Johntrix is betrayed during a covert
operation during which his team is exterminated. He must fight his way out of
a high-tech facility using experimental weapons. As he tracks down those responsible, he faces off against
cybernetically enhanced foes, including cyborgs, drones, and robotic beasts. The game features a thrilling
narrative with escalating stakes, culminating in an epic showdown against the mastermind behind the chaos.

Keyboard Basher™ Technology
Keyboard Basher™ is a new, patent-pending*, technology that lets users use the keyboard as a pointing device, and target multiple locations simultaneously. It’s ideal for first-person shooting games, but can also be used in other circumstances.
Non-commercial software can use Keyboard Basher™ technology freely (e.g. investigation, personal free games, educational). If you wish to use it for a commercial project that generates revenue, you must first enter into a commercial agreement with Bonkers Builders. An international patent* is pending for this technology.
