Lazer Recoil

A game made for the 2024 Cambridge University Game Jam. Theme: REFLECTIONS.
Written in 16 bit x86 assembly, in under 48 hours, by one person.
HOW TO PLAY:
Use left and right arrow keys to rotate player. Press spacebar to shoot a lazer.
Use the recoil of the lazer to move, but don't let the lazer bounce off the
walls and hit you (else you will restart the level). If you touch the walls,
you also restart. To progress to the next level, you must reach the green line.
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
The game was written in 16 bit, x86, nasm assembly for the MS-DOS. It is able
to run in a browser thanks to (em-)dosbox, which emulates MS-DOS.
WHY MS-DOS?
Compared to Linux or Windows 10, its easier to get graphics on the screen in
MS-DOS. You can issue a DOS API interrupt to configure graphics mode, then you
can write into a framebuffer which is drawn to the screen. Its also easier to
run a DOS game in a browser.
