Role Breakdown
​
Tech/Scripter/Design: During this game jam the main hurdle to get over was the limitation of the single button input and designing a game that would be both engaging and interesting in the limited amount of time with these restrictions. After landing on the idea and theme the scripting process was rather straightforward with an emphasis on learning about gating and delaying inputs to ensure everything works just right. The enemies were spawned through an spawn manager that simply selected from a variety of spawns off screen. This game jam was a ton of fun, especially to work in 2D with pixel art rather than 3D like I am used to!
