Akurra

Project Brief

Name: Akurra

Genre: Side Scroller

Platform: PC

This is a game that me and two other friends worked on in the 2017 edition of the "University of Portsmouth Game Jam".

Akurra is a 2D Platformer made in Unity , where the main character is the the rainbow snake god of the aboriginal people. This idea was chosen based on the theme of the jam.

My tasks included the following:

• Programmed the health bar

• The wind effect in the scene

• Helped with developing the snake mechanics which contains the followings:

  • • 1. A snake head which is attached onto an array of tiles which changes colour while moving

      2. A particle system which allows the snake to attack using fire

      3. Movement only on the Y-axis

The source code and a video of the game will be uploaded ASAP. Due to the project being on the university's computer.
