Acid Knockout

Kennedy wanders into a strange world containing destroyed cities, acid pools, and weird creatures. As far as Kennedy knows, there is no escape to this world so she must fight to survive. She comes across walking goblins she dubs Gobby's, jumping frog-like creatures she dubs Jummy's, and flying creatures she dubs Friggy's. She fights these enemies for as long as she can in order to survive.

Acid Knockout is a king of the hill style game with a cute-horror art style designed to encompasses the basic functionality of traditional games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018), and Brawlhallo (2014). The art style is retro cute-horror inspired by Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 (2015) and ACA Neo-Geo Metal Slug V (2013). The game is designed around a core gameplay loop that involves a static level with fast-paced waves of spawning enemies and pickups.

This game was created by 6 students at the University of Utah for Entertainment Arts and Engineering 3710: Traditional Game Development during the Spring 2021 semester.
