LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTS

This was the first multiplayer game I've worked on and the first game I made art for. We used voxel art for all the models.

What I love most about this game is the amount of freedom we offered the player to deal with the problem of defending their sandcastle. They can build walls and sniper towers, hoard ammunition, try to body block the suicide crabs while the other player comes to the rescue or just watch their castle burn down. I was impressed by the creativity of our players when we showed them the game.
