Solo Project (DES301) |
Marble Rush Racer
​
Solo semester-long 2D project made in Unity. Focus of game play was a challenge mechanic that had achievement elements. Play as a marble dropping through a maze to reach the goal, collecting shiny collectibles on the way!
This rank-based game focused on having a save file using JSON serialization and deserialization to dynamically read time thresholds for each level and save player times, rank and score for viewing later.
