Pinata Blast

DESCRIPTION

Compete with your friend over who is better in this Bomberman-like 2-Player local multiplayer game. Place bombs & collect pickups, to outmaneuver your fellow player.

You're two brother iguanas, fighting over who will inherit the family's restaurant. Who of the two will it be? May the smartest and fastest win.

CONTROLS

Player 1: Arrow-Keys for movement + "O" for placing bombs

Player 2: WASD for movement + "E" for placing bombs

Press the key for placing bombs to navigate through the menu

TIPS

1. Try to reach the pickups! Every single one will bring you a power-up, giving you a temporary advantage over your fellow player. 

2. The bombing range increases every 15 seconds, so keep that in mind too when you place your bombs.

3. Collecting three burritos also gives you a win.

About Us & the Game Development

This is another first-year project I worked on in collaboration with five other students. The goal was to create an arcade game, including a custom controller in two weeks.

The tasks were split up as follows:

Ania Cojocareanu

Made a real pinata for advertising + making the controller

Joppe Elschot 

Created the characters & tiles for the game 

Jens Walgien

Created the banners & the pickup sprites

İrem Doğan

Created the background for the game

Wilhelm Daudeij 

Testing the game, tweaking values, programming the controller

Me

Programmed all the functionalities of the game

The game was developed in a C# based custom-made engine provided by our studies, which only consists of the very basics of a game engine.

Enjoy!
