About the game

It's a fast platforming game in which you must arrived to the end of the level as fast as possible, using the pistol to restore the platforms or destroying them, creating the path necessary to reach the end. The idea was creating short-medium levels that are not too hard to finish it, but required some effort to get low times, challenging the player. Made for an on-site hackathon in 2017 with Unity and C#.

Key responsibilities

- Player movement and pistol behaviour.
- Main platforms that gets restored/destroyed by projectiles.
- Map design and implementation.
- Materials and shaders.
