Eradicate is a short top-down shooter prototype designed for a university assignment. The game puts the player into the shoes of a disgruntled office worker as they use a “hands-on” antivirus program to clear their computer of malware.
Eradicate consists of an opening cut-scene, tutorial sequence, ten waves of enemies, a boss battle and a victory cut-scene. The main gameplay loop revolves around firing bait pellets to manage enemy movements and deactivate shields, whilst also firing the ship’s anti-virus cannon to destroy vulnerable enemies.
The game also features an upgrade tree where in which the player can incrementally improve their ship’s weaponry and bait launcher; allowing for shots that slow and freeze enemies, or bait which deactivates multiple shields simultaneously. Overall, the prototype is a short experience which focuses on tactical enemy management and fast-paced gameplay.
Eradicate was solely designed and developed by me. Additionally, all assets and sounds were created during the development of the project.
The game is currently available to download on Game Jolt.
Damn son!
Ticked most of the boxes looked for. Would be enhanced with music and enemy descriptions, but great prototype.. (13.5/15)
