Game Description

This platform jumper and shooter has some very unique elements. The bad guy is the QuinnHead that shoots lips at you, and there are invulnerable enemies that mimic your movements. Big blue platforms move in a set pattern. The custom artwork is avant-guarde and is sure to question the reality juxtaposed upon you as player.

Game Description

This intriguing game has a seemingly simple objective... create a pipeline to bring the coffee beans to the goal on the far side of the screen. There are obstacles that the pipeline must route around. The real challenge is that there are tanks that appear, and they want, more than anything, to destroy your coffee pipeline!  It is possible to build turrets to defend against the tanks, resulting in a unique real time strategy experience.

Game Description

This platform fighter demonstrates some great additions to a standard jumper. All artwork, even the bricks, is orginal. The fighter can use his sword or fire a ranged weapon. The level is laid out well, and the results are quite challenging, especially if you use just the sword. Also appreciated are the instructions that appear as you progress through the level. Rumors about a secret passage have been overheard.

Game Description

This top-down shooter is challenging due to the changes in gravity. Each colored region resets the direction of gravity. There are turrets that shoot at you, and the gravity changes make it difficult to destroy the turrets. Very creative!

Game Description

I wanted to make a fighting game with dragons from different universes. I wanted different commands for the dragons to do different attacks. I wanted to create a game with a mix of Street Fighter and Punch Out, but with dragons instead of humans. The things that I did was work on the tutorial level for beginners and the attacks (dragon specific attacks by the way)  for the dragons.

  • Arrow keys control how the dragon moves up-down & right
  • Space bar allows for special attacks
  • T,C,B,P,S,G,O buttons control the different abilities the dragon can do.

Game Challenges
  • To get the characters to do their different attacks.
  • To get the computer CPU’s to do random attacks.
  • To get the blocking system to work for example taking an attack without or with little damage.
Game Unfinished Component

I didn’t add the career mode it would have been a story mode in the game.
 

I wanted to add more attacks and dragons to the career mode

I was trying to make a two player mode and player 2’s controls but that would take a while to do.  If it had 2 player mode the dragons would have equal abilities making it more fair.

Game Next Steps

Start working on the career mode so it will play out like a story mode.
