Original concept
This game began as an entry in a Game Jam, which I joined with a small group of friends and my wife.
The theme of the jam was "Makeshift".
After a few brainstorming sessions, we decided to incorporate gameplay elements reminiscent of Cuphead while ensuring our game maintained its own distinctive charm. Each boss fight features a unique twist: for instance, battling the rat requires players to shoot upwards from the bottom of the screen, and the final boss incorporates elements reminiscent of the classic Donkey Kong game.
Our bosses share much of their underlying logic, thanks to our use of object-oriented programming. We designed a versatile base class, with each boss inheriting and extending these core functionalities to create diverse and engaging encounters.
