Final Fall Project from Brown-RISD Game Developers - our biggest and most sucessful game to date! Coming right out of our introductory fall project with all the new members having just being introduced to the game-making process, BRGD set its sights on making a fast-past side scroller, a type of game we had never attempted before. The whole group decided early on that a hookshot mechanic was exciting and thus the art team set to work to form an aesthetic around it.
"BUT WHAT IF THEY WERE ALL WEARING ANIMAL COSTUMES"

We went through several ideas - a host of mailmen delivering mail at record times, ninjas, cars with magnets attached, but the most inspiring idea came from Sam's drawings of kids yoyo-ing their way through an urban environment.

I'd like to thank pizza for this part, I don't know how we would've gotten through it without pizza.
