Splat!

The Project

You play as a squishy jelly spaceship intending to make an escape through multiple floors of the mothership. Evade the lasers and avoid the crushers as well as enemy jellies to find the keycard and escape through the elevator! But be careful though, because you never know when you might go... SPLAT!

I wanted to make a game that would stand out among the rest, so I thought of this new mechanic and controls. I was always intrigued and satisfied by how jelly rebounds upon contact so I went with that as the main character.

The soft-body physics for the jelly character was rather challenging. I worked it out by creating several colliders with its own weight with rigid bodies on the edges of the character and skinned the sprite on it to move with the rigid bodies.

I would like to add more features that would raise awareness on the importance of recycling. For example, currently the game keeps track of the total amount of recyclables that the player has collected, I could add a milestone card saying you've successfully collected (how much) after an amount.
