Bacterium

This is a mini-game I developed myself. I started with basic ‘Asteroids’-like prototype for the game mechanics and then went back and updated the graphics to use my illustrations and animation.

I built it using the GameMaker Studio 2 engine and used some of their tutorials to get started. The sprites and animation I created on the iPad Pro using the app ProCreate. From start to finish it took me roughly a week to put it all together.

The game is playable via HTML5 enabled browsers and is hosted on Itch.io.

These are some of the animated game assets I created for the game.

Here you can see the differences between the basic game prototype where I copied the ‘Asteroids’ game thanks to a tutorial from YoYoGames. After I got the game running I went back and added my own images and animations to the game.
