Dev time: 1 year

I drafted a prototype in a few weeks, but it demonstrated immense potential. After an overwhelmingly positive response at Play NYC 2017 and a prize at GameFest 2017, I revised and eventually finished the game on my own. During this process, I constantly revised all of the art, scripts, animations, sound effects, and iterated countless times upon the core game design, while also building a networked leaderboard system. The final game has won the Golden Joystick for "Best Student Game" at the 2018 TERMINUS Award Show.
