TowerFall

TowerFall is a 2D vertical-scroller where the player must traverse up a collapsing tower with only a grappling hook.

The player's goal is to climb as high as they can, accumulating as much score as possible before they are crushed.

TowerFall was created for one of my University modules. I decided to create this game because I wanted to create an infinite scrolling game where the player's movement is limited to something that is unconventional, a grappling hook. This is the main mechanic of the game, the grappling hook will launch itself to wherever the player clicks and if it makes contact with a wall, it will pull the player character to it.

Creating this game was enjoyable as I challenged myself with the grappling hook mechanic and am pleased with how it turned out. As well as the grappling hook, multiple power-ups are available to the player: freezing time, speeding themselves up and a gem that gives them more score. These randomly spawning power-ups along with the randomly generating tower adds replayability to the game as players try and get the highest score possible.
