Ultra Dance Murder is a fast paced twin stick arcade shoot em' up hybrid with a fantastic heart pounding 80's styled synthwave soundtrack, glitch art aesthetic, dance inspired combat, and local multiplayer gameplay that either builds or destroys friendships. Solo passion project (minus the OST by Three Chain Links) developed with a priority on speed and game feel with a really satisfying shotgun & and dance like movement.
Developed challenging singleplayer campaign tightly iterated to be open to multiple playstyles and loadouts
Wrote finite state machine AI and unique bosses that work together to outmaneuver the player, but can be tricked with clever use of the environment
Created voronoi split screen death match mode with multiple maps and bullet hell pattern editor for a highly replayable procedural local co-op (or with AI) bullet hell survival mode.
Became extremely proficient with various forms of glitch art.
