Shieldnator

My game for the first Game Makers Tool Kit Game Jam.  

Play as a gladiator who has only one shield to defend himself. But it's not just a simple shield, you can repel enemy attacks and perform pushes.

The idea is to use defense as the main weapon. When defending from an attack, the attack is repelled and special bar increases. The special attack is a powerful push that throws enemies away and together can come rewards as an extra life.

I made all the code in Unity3D. All models were created by the second team member, Alvaro Augusto. The sound effects are from the royalty free   Audio Game GDC bundle.
