Not sure if I'll use this much. Still, might as well have it, right?
Guts & Blackpowder is a Roblox horde shooter taking place in the Napoleonic Era. The undead have risen, and a small section of soldiers armed with muskets and sabres must either hold their ground against the walking dead for as long as they can or find their way out of overrun cities.
The game currently have 3 maps: Hougoumont, Vardohus Fortress, and Leipzig.
The game's two gamemodes are Endless (Fend off escalating waves of undead until everyone is overrun) and Objective. (Complete various objectives on a map to eventually reach some sort of escape.)
Players can play as one of five different classes, each with unique weaponry or equipment. All classes except the Sapper carries a sabre as their melee weapon of choice.
Line Infantry: The default class. Wields a musket with an attached bayonnet. An effective general unit, but have the slowest reload.
Officer: A commanding officer, carrying a flintlock pistol, the firearm with the fastest reload.
Navy: A member of the Navy. Their weapon of choice is the blunderbuss, being able to kill multiple zombies in one shot, but struggles at further ranges.
Fifer: The first support unit. Does not use a firearm, instead uses a fife to boost allies' lengthy reload speed.
Sapper: The only unit that doesn't use a sabre. They instead carry an axe which can kill most undead in one swing. Sappers can also use their hammer to build various fortifications.
Guts & Blackpowder provides examples of:
- Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Line Infantry in real life do not usually carry sabres, but they do in the game.
- Action Bomb: Bombers carry powder kegs. They begin to light the barrels of explosives once they get close to a human, detonating a few seconds aterwards. Bombers will also explode when killed, and their explosions are notorious for destroying Sappers' hard work, forcing them to rebuild their defenses.
- Devoured by the Horde: What happens if a player get grappled by more than 3 zombies at once.
- Mercy Kill: You can deliver one to any reanimated players.
- In Vardohus Fortress, you could break your leg by jumping off the lighthouse. Doing so will heavily cripple your movement speed, and other players will be able to perform this on you. (Doing so grants a badge.)
- The Goomba: Shamblers are by far the most common enemy encountered. They are slow enough that players can easily outrun them, even while reloading. However, their sheer numbers can still ensure that players make a mistake and get grappled by them.
- Hitbox Dissonance: The game's gore system is client sided, which means you can encounter scenarios where zombies don't take any damage despite visually having both its arms cut off.
- Player Mooks: The soldiers players play as are generic soldiers trapped in a zombie infested area, having no unique character traits beyond their class.
- Snowed-In: In Vardohus Fortress, the pathway leading to the port is completely filled in with snow, forcing the soldiers to dig through the path while under assault from zombies.
- Schmuck Bait: Try standing next to the gate when the explosive barrels are lit. Nothing could possibly go wrong!
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: The runners all have glowing red eyes, and they are much more threatening than shamblers, able to outrun the soldiers and pin them to the ground with a tackle.
- Our Zombies Are Different: The basic shamblers are not that different from sterotypical zombies, except for the fact that their Zombie Gait is much faster than expected.
- Some zombies carry around large powder kegs, and are intelligent enough to light them once in range of any victims.
- The freshly turned will become runners, zombies sprinting at full speed with glowing eyes. They can tackle humans to the ground, but cannot convert their victims into more undead.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Jacob, the French soldier who answered the trapped German soldiers' call for help, was blown up moments after his introduction due to a fuse mismeasurement.
- Zombie Apocalypse: One taking place in the 1800s! While the details of the outbreak is unclear, note the Liepzig map implies that whatever's causing the dead to rise is large-scaled enough to devastate an entire city.
- Zombie Infectee: The infection mechanic can make you one. If your infection meter is raised to full from being bitten too much, it will no longer gradually be reduced, and your screen will be tinted red to the point where things are barely visable. 20-30 seconds later, you will drop dead and reanimate as a runner.
Simply put, you have to get a snack at 4 AM. Or you could just end up doing one of the many wacky things in the game instead.
That's it, right?
Get a Snack At 4 AM, or GASA 4 as it'll be refered to as, is a story-based Roblox game created by STIXAL. You wander around a 2010-Roblox styled world, trying to gather a bunch of short "Endings".
A remake was released in 2021, titled "Get a Snack at 4 AM: Snackcore". It includes new endings, a greatly expanded storyline, and overhauled many sections of the game to fit with STIXAL's original vision of the game.

- Insert tropes here
The planet of Forma is one where no laws exist to regulate war. While the competing empires of continent Centaura conflict against one another, a plan to rid the world of pointless bloodshed has begun withtin the Antares Compendium, through one last. Great. War.
CENTAURA is a third/first person shooter game made in Roblox, created by Ca Inc. You play as nameless soldiers during the Centaurian War, participating in notable battles.

CENTAURA contains examples of:
- Acceptable Breaks from Reality:
- You have infinite ammo. Flametroopers may overheat and be unable to fire for a period of time, but they still have unlimited fuel.
- Got shot with half a dozen SMG shots? A roll of bandages will fix it right up in seconds.
- Burn It With Fire: The Flametrooper class is equipped with a flamethrower, setting enemies ablaze.
- Booby Trap: An improvised mine, composed of a wire tied to an artillery shell, is a purchasable item.
- Controllable Helplessness: When a player is lit on fire, they lose the ability to equip any items. All they can do is run around while screaming in pain as they inevitably burn to death.
- Cannon Fodder: You. Each player controls a nameless grunt, sent to die for their respective nations.
- Nicknaming the Enemy: A number of fictional slurs against certain nations exist in-universe. For example, "Cetes" and "Combs" for Cetans and Columbans respectively.
- One-Word Title: CENTAURA.
- Salt the Earth: A strategy Antares used against the Kingdom of Aqulia, lighting their forests ablaze. The tactic was simply known as "The Scorch". A massive portion of Aqulia was ravaged by the flames.
- Storming the Beaches: After the occupation of Cetus, some Cetan sailors and the Exercitus Maris mutinied, landing on the beaches of Whitemouth Estuary in a last-ditch bid to retake their country.
- War Is Hell: Heavily invoked. Players scream in panic when shot, horrified cries ring out warning others of incoming artillery, and every match ends with a screen displaying the death toll of the winning nation, followed by the game's signature quote: "Only the dead have seen the end of war."
- The War to End All Wars: What the Antares Compendium thinks so.
- We Have Reserves: Gridlock maps have infnite respawns.
