Doombox's Lab

This assignment was in particular a doozy, but incredibly entertaining at the same time. The point was we all threw genres into a hat essentially, and would be assigned randomly one to create. With my luck I drew bullet-hell, and struggled for a bit to figure out what to do.

​

After playing some Lethal League Blaze, inspiration hit and i began chugging away at sequencing a level. The patterns in this level are all done through sequencers guiding turrets around the level to create patterns as I saw fit. Not the most efficient way naturally, but it gave me as a novice a lot of control over patterns I wanted the player to see and experience. 

​

The boss fight at the end was fun to create to say the least. From proxy to pattern creation, the tone of the fight set me in such a mood I kept working through the night unabated. A major focus of this assignment for me creating a "balanced" experience - and looking to games like Furi I drew even more inspiration - creating a invincibility dash whenever the player hits space bar, allowing them to dash through bullets. While there is no death state, there is a "high score" in the sense of every bullet hit ticks up a counter, allowing for replay ability without salt from dying over and over again.
