You play as a member of a freedom fighting group, labelled as terrorists by corrupt corporations.

The game follows the events of an attack your group did on the corporations head building.

You play the role of a grid runner your job is to kick up enough smoke and make a big enough distraction to draw the attention away from your comrades carrying out the attack on the HQ.

Grid Runner is a 1v1 split screen racing game where two players race to a finish line along a randomly generated route. Drifting fills a boost meter which unlocks the boost.

In order to drift, the player must be travelling above a minimum speed and must be rotated a certain amount away from the direction they are travelling in. Stop accelerating to drift more effectively.

This is my first 2D unity game and has been created as part of a module at BCU.

Ai generated images are used extensively in this game.
