HKU Admission
ASTEROID WARS
This was my very first game; a 2D side scrolling space shooter made with GameMaker-Studio to get an idea of how to make digital games.
DENIED
Step in the shoes of a member of the HKU admission board. You have one job: do NOT admit Thomas Meiborg under any circumstance if you know what’s good for the school. There’s just one problem… He’s annoyingly persistent! Armed with your humble “DENIED” stamp, bravely face the endless waves of aspiring students and cull the cunning “Thomas-es” in a hopeless challenge that, ultimately, cannot be won.
The Goal
The assignment was to make a game with the HKU admission as its theme. Together, Asteroid Wars and Denied formed my submission. I used the mechanics and infrastructure of Asteroid Wars to transform it into a fitting concept. I enjoyed making the game’s models and animations, among which pictures of my face with different expressions to change the sprite of “Thomas-es” when they sneak through across the admission line or get hit by a “DENIED” stamp.
