How It’s Played

The waves of horde keep coming and the player must tap and hold the screen to start punching. The more the player holds, the faster our hero throws his/her fists. While the fists are getting thrown faster, an anger meter is being filled right behind the character and if the player releases their finger from the screen when the fill meter is at the green threshold, our hero goes into a rampage mode and starts the special spinning hurricane kick whilst storming through the bridge. If the player fails to remove their finger from the screen before the bar is filled, our hero explodes to it’s core. I was inspired by the Hulk from the Marvel Universe and created anger meter and the animation illusion with scale and color lerping.

My Role In the Game

Language used: C#, Developed in: Unity Game Engine

General Role: Designer, Programmer

Although it was not a successful game it was a really fun one to design and to think about. While developing this game I learned a lot about Unity. It was a struggle to get the hierarchy of the game objects correct. I had to create an illusion to make it feel like our hero was actually physically punching and kicking it’s enemies and align it’s punching animation with it’s punching speed. For the hero to face the enemy that it is punching, created a static variable shared between the scripts of the enemy game objects named the chosen one and lerped the hero’s body in front of the last enemy that entered the trigger collider hidden between the players character and the enemies. To prevent it from zapping rapidly I made sure that the chose one variable could not be replace until the hero’s body completely lerped in front of the last chosen enemy object. The enemy spawner scripts continues to create enemies until it reaches a certain amount regarding the level the player is in. There is a battlefield object containing the player and the enemy spawner. The player object contains the player character, the trigger wall that adds the enemies to the battlefields enemies array and the actual invisible physical wall that separates the players character from the enemy game objects and prevents the enemies from running out off the map. At first our character was able to move while punching and to do that I had to assign the battlefield object as the parent of the enemies that entered the trigger collider to be able to move them with the players character. The player script and the battlefield script are deeply connected. There is an invisible cube object inside the player, aligned with the line where the enemies stop. When the player starts attacking, it triggers a certain function of the battlefield script which starts adding explosion forces to enemies inside it’s container array, proportional to the attack speed of the player. Using the Time class of Unity, I created a timer to increase the player’s attack speed with passing time and reset the timer with the user proper input.
