Development Story
This project began as a concept for my Game Design class. After completing the core assignment, I wanted to turn it into a fully polished title. I expanded the gameplay loop, added particle effects, created custom audio cues, designed scoring/leaderboard systems with medals, and published the completed build to itch.io!
