Harena is a top down arcade where the player can teleport to 3 different levels to battle the enemies which increase in difficulty. Can you defeat the final boss and unlock every weapon? This game was built over a 1- month time period.

Project Scope and Team Dynamics

I worked on the player, player animations, weapons, level designs, loading screens, the logic for weapon unlocks, NPC interaction, and the teleporters. I also assisted with UI and enemy logic. The project concluded at the end of the month.
