Space Winter
A downloadable game for Windows
Space Winter is a 2D platformer shooter in which you play as an unnamed hero, tasked with defeating "The Plague", a mysterious disease that creates monsters who kill anything on sight.
This is the first video game I created for a university assignement. It was made on Unity using free assets and my at the time limited engine and C# knowledge.
The inspiration for this project came from playing Metroid on the Game Boy during my childhood. I wanted to make a 2D platformer with shooting elements where dodging is the only way of defence. For the levels, I designed them in a way that to progress, you need to go up instead of the standard left-to-right. This is because I wanted to contain each level within a vertical rectangle, and because I believe moving upwards gives the player a better sense of progress, similar to climbing a mountain and looking down. I also created the music themes used in the levels. Overall I am happy with this project and plan on developing it further or making a sequel eventually.
