Cancer Combat is a top-down 2D shooter made in two days for Lame Jame 29 on Itch.io. You play as a cell fighting off cancerous tumors that spread and duplicate, threatening your life.
Cancer Combat was made in Unity and placed directly into GitHub, and is available on my Itch.io page in the "about" section of this repository.
Cancer Combat was my second game made and my first game jam, and a large dive into several Unity concepts. With the help of A.I. Chatbots, I was able to learn a lot of C# implemented into this game. Cancer Combat was also my first dive into game design, such as making the game easy to play, difficult enough to be challenging, but not so challenging that it is impossible. Such design choices were only possible with constructive criticism from friends I let playtest the game.
In addition, players can choose different upgrades balanced in a way that makes them all equally helpful, so players can experiment with different combinations of upgrades to destroy the tumors the fastest. This results in a satisfying gameplay loop of avoiding enemies and being quick to get high scores and upgrades!
