Bloodlust is a PowerPC 2D flip-screen platform/action game for the Mac by David Johnston, archived in Info-Mac as bloodlust.hqx. The submission casts the player as an explorer trapped underground on an alien planet, with the overall objective laid out as escape back to the surface.ControlsThe author designs the game around split hand control: one hand on the keyboard handles movement around the flip-screen rooms, while the other hand drives the mouse to aim and shoot at the planet's hostile inhabitants.Progression loopPlay centres on hunting down artifacts that incrementally expand the player's capabilities, including jumping higher, blowing up walls, and increasing firepower. Each upgrade unlocks previously unreachable rooms, gating exploration behind scavenger-hunt power-ups.PlatformThe submission line tags the build as PowerPC, consistent with the late-1990s shift in Info-Mac arcade releases away from FAT binaries toward PPC-only builds.DistributionArchived at info-mac/game/arc/bloodlust.hqx; the BinHex envelope from David Johnston (deejay169@hotmail.com) is the sole verified source for the description above.
