Retrospective

During the creation of Galaxy Horizon II, I wrote the code and implemented the audio to create this simple game concept. This project took 4 weeks. 

​

I decided to create a sequel to Galaxy Horizon, a horizontal endless shooter game I made during the coding subject. To differentiate between the original and the sequel, Galaxy Horizon II was set on a vertical plane, I also added a new feature where you are able to shoot from behind, giving the game a dynamic where the player needs to focus both ways instead of one.
