Project details
Summary
During the second year of university we had a term during which we had 3 short game projects. For one of these game marmalades we were tasked to come up with a game based on an image. The image was one of a devil and an angel playing games.
The resulting game was an arcade flying combat game with a theme that could only be described as "futuristic theology". In it players are given a futuristic plane/spaceship themed to be either "angelic" and "demonic". Using said planes they are engaged in a race through halos while battle each other using their primary weapon systems and pickups.
