Event Horrizon

During my third year of university, in the last part of our game jam module, I was able to work on a 'day jam' as it came to be called. We worked on the project for one day and one day only, creating a small and enjoyable game.

The theme was old style black and white graphics, but other than that, the game could be anything we wanted and had to be playable with old NES controllers.

We ended up with a simple game based on the last scene from Star Trek where the enterprise is trying to escape the 'Event Horizon' of a black hole. We then made this competitive and introduced four players into the mix. The players could attempt to knock others into the black hole and try to be the last man standing.

For this project I was mostly in charge of the asteroids and debris which came in from the sides of the screen to knock and push the players into the black hole. I also worked on the audio for the game and I made the title screen.

Overall I really feel this was our strongest game we made in the game jam. It is really simple, but the game is quite likeable and enjoyable.

Feel free to download the project on a link below to take a look.

In order to play you will need to connect 4 NES controllers however.
