BOO! (MarkHMD)

This is the second game I ever made for my first game jam: My First Game Jam: Winter 2022 

Fight against the humans as they try to destroy you and your graveyard in an ever expanding battle!

Controls:

• Arrow Keys - 8-Directional movement
• Space - Attack
• Esc - Go back to main menu

I would like to reflect on what I learned during this game jam:

• I learned how important it is to maintain and plan a project through some external tools and how helpful that was.
• I learned how to implement new things into my games like enemy spawners, screenshake, UIs like a healthbar, shaders and much much more.
• This is the first project where I had done the art completely by myself, where I kept experimenting with it. Hopefully I'll improve and become better at pixel art some day.

Tools used:

• Aseprite
• Gamemaker Studio 2
• JSFXR (in credits below)

Credits:

• Music: 8-bit Betty - Spooky Loop - Attribution/non-commercial. Incredible 8-bit music artist.

• Sound effects: JSFXR - Amazing tool for 8-bit sound effects.
• Flash shaders: This video was very helpful and explained how the flash shaders work very well.

Known issues:

• Sometimes enemy's hitbox stays active after death

Any feedback is 100% appreciated!
