untitled music game
In this untitled music game, inspired by various rhythm and bullet hell games, your goal is to survive until the end of the song while avoiding the rhythmical attack patterns.
(sound recommended)
overview
Control your character and dodge the rythmic attacks! This project was created in Unity. Everything, the bullet-hell and rhythm systems, the shaders and effects were developed from scratch. The featured song is "Dancing All Night" by android52.
goals
I aimed to develop a solid framework for creating a rhythm-based game. While only one level is available, the system is designed to be flexible and expandable. I was also inspired by bullet hell games and wanted to craft fun and engaging attack patterns.
learnings
As one of my first game projects, I focused on getting the basics right. I learned how to create simple yet satisfying movement, provide feedback to the player through visual and auditory effects, and work with UI.
reception
Although not publicly available for licensing reasons, a short clip on Reddit sparked interest from many players, who offered playtesting and feedback. It was well received, despite being quite difficult to beat at that stage.
