This is a vertical side scroller where you progress by moving downwards. 

Controls:

The game is controlled by shooting with either click or the spacebar. Shooting controls both your movement as well as your attack

My roles:

I did the programming for this assignment as well as came up with the concept. I designed all the levels and set all the gameplay up. 

What did I learn from this assignment:

I learned a lot about how to use A* pathfinding and a lot of the nuances and quirks it has. (Oh boy does it have a lot of quirks) I also learned about tile maps and how to effectively use those which is going to be something I use very often in the future.

What makes this game unique?

What I think makes my game unique is that it is a very interesting twist on the genre of sidescroller because it scrolls downwards which is not something you see done often. Also I made my game a one button game which is very unique as well because you have to worry about using the shotgun for both movement and combat
