On this project i worked on developing the Level art and the levels themselves.
The artwork was designed to be incredibly simple yet stark due to the short time constraints and as a result was heavily inspired by old school arcade games such as Pong and Space Invaders which have a iconic black and white art style borne of their technological constraints.
Once I had a spritesheet to build with I created 2 levels that are inspired by games such as Sonic The Hedgehog with boosters and ramps that the player has to navigate. Thematically the levels are set in a factory with the first level being made of steel plates and conveyors surrounded by stacks of crates and drums and the second level being made of brick and mortar with less ramps thanks to the ability to jump.
