Snipe Hunt (AlecShedelbower)

Background

This project is a simple autumn-themed pixel art game I made during the month of October (2022).

My goal with this project was to familiarize myself with Unity's new 2D URP system, including sprite normal maps and 2D shadow casters.

Assets

All the pixel art was created by myself using Mathematica. The only exception is the player character, which I created by hand using a pixel art editor.

Audio assets were gathered from https://freesound.org/ and then slightly altered using Mathematica.

Gameplay

Based on the classic prank, you play as a park ranger attempting to capture the ever elusive snipe – but this time it's real! With only 12 hours until sunrise  (10 minutes), you must scavenge the woods for resources to build traps to help in your pursuit.
