Cyclone - The Game

Description

This repository contains all the project files for the game "Cyclone", which was made in the Unity game engine and written in C#, along with a Android application package file (CycloneTheSurvivor.apk) - making it playable on any android mobile phone if you wish to test it. I made this project in part to participate in the Software Development Contest (ACUITY 2019), where it would go on to win the second runner's up position.

Testing

Simply clone the project and move the CycloneTheSurvivor.apk file to an appropriate destination on your android mobile device and install it there to get a playable version of the game.
