Shoot N Slay

Shoot N Slay was an android game I made as a part of my final thesis submission for my Bachelor’s degree in Game Development from University of Wales. It’s a real-time multiplayer racing and slaying game. Its setup in a procedurally generating tunnel where the players overcome obstacles while flying at supersonic speeds and compete with each other to finish first. Each player has a few attacks and a few defense moves that takes varied times to recharge and can be used to win the game. This is the first time I made any kind of multiplayer game. And I learnt a lot about lobbying, match-making, Synchronizing, network latency and optimization given that this game was intended to run on a 2G mobile network.
