Uh Oh, UFO

Uh Oh, UFO is an easy-to-pick up arcade run-n-gun made in a week for the Opera GX Game Jam. I worked in an interdisciplinary team of two programmers (including myself), two visual artists, a sound designer, a musician, and a director. We all worked together on the design of the game and it was built in the GameMaker Studio 2 Game Engine. Our combined efforts put us in the top 100 out of over 900 entries to the jam. The goal of the jam was to make an easy to pick up, endless arcade game with multiplayer functionality and a UFO theme. The winner of this jam would have their game featured as the “no internet” page for the Opera GX Web Browser similar to Chrome's “Dinosaur Game.” The jam had rules and restrictions to allow this, which made for a fun design challenge for our team.
