    • Off the Crown! is a top-down 2d-twinstick shooter game, produced during our first year "Fuxi" Game Jam. The game is based on the jam theme of "revolution", and as such the player takes control of a crown to shoot peasants with coins. Enemies spawn during waves, which increase in duration and difficulty as the game goes on. At the end of a wave the player can collect a random upgrade, to further increase their power! The art is stylized to feel like a cartoon, which also helps the blood splatters from enemies dying feel incredibly jarring in contrast.

    I mainly worked on programming, version control, and UI during this project. Version control was a little tricky to get started, as no one in the group had used GitHub to manage a project with this many people before. Someone still had to do it though, and that responsibility fell on me. I'd like to think I pulled it off decently well for my first time doing it, as there were no errors, and a decent 154 commits before the project was finished! The game is available on itch.io to play for free!
