Help! I'm A Circle Being Chased By Evil Squares

Project outline

A fast-paced arcade-style, high-score-based game where YOU, the player, aid Circle through the constant barrage of evil squares. Dash, evade, and destroy while picking up power-ups to survive as long as possible!

The game proved as a holistic but short demonstration of skills I had learned throughout my Object Oriented Programming module.

There is a great emphasis on game feel and player experience over other aspects of game design. Ultimately its a project I am proud of and thoroughly enjoyed making!

Overall, I received a wide range of feedback on this project. The game had to be tested throughout to balance the games mechanics and maintain a consistent game feel as well as to address any bugs.

My lecturer proved to be invaluable with the abundance of given resources to ensure the successful outcome of the project. Any criticism given was welcomed and ultimately used to aid in further development of the game.
