Side-Scrolling Survival Game
A downloadable game
This is a project I had made in my second year at uni using their own in house framework. For this project I had opted to focus on developing using the ps4 controller exclusively for the game.
The objective of the game is to basically survive as long as possible and to try and get the highest score possible
