Development

Development began by creating the idea for the game. We wanted something that challenges us as a team. Two of us already were experienced with Unity and C# as a programming language and one of us already knew how to create graphics for the game. We decided to go with a programming challenge, hence the random map generation.

Final result

We managed to create a functioning game with a beginning cutscene and a victory screen. The game has different kinds of enemies, randomly generating map which functions correctly and a final boss. We are proud of the re-playability of the game, as the map is always different. Enemies also have enemy -specific movement and behavior patterns, and the player may find power-ups from the map.
