Splatacle

A fast paced oththagraphic action platformer

Splatacle is a wacky 2D action platformer where you can't use any of your limbs. Instead, you've got to make use of your giant tentacle appendage to grapple and bounce around the map, dragging your useless body along as you go. Swing, bounce and splat your way through the lab, avoiding a scientist's dastardly pet cat as it tries to thwart your attempts to escape the 14 rooms in your path!

Splatacle was my major project assignment while i studied at AIE made across 15 weeks

What i did

I worked on the Game design document
assisted designing player and environment mechanics
designed the geyser mechanic
Programmed a colour customisable outline shader
designing levels in unity
applied feedback from playtesters
itarated on levels and mechanics

Features I'm most proud of

I was most proud of the geyser mechanic. It ended up being really fun, working and looking great thanks to the programmers and artists, i found it especially fun in the observation hall and the last level.

What i learnt

Through his project I learnt how to make a orthographic view game using 2d and 3d assets and how to properly structure them in layers to give the illusion they are all on one layer, as well as learning new uses of hack n plan to better organise my projects and also how to go from a small idea into a fully fledged game.
