NOTE: This game doesn't play all too well in browser. For an optimized experience, please download the game and run it separately (only on Windows). There is a Summer '23 build, which is complete on its own, and the beta of our winter development, which includes more content but is unfinished.

Project HERO is a single-player hero shooter. Choose between one of three heroes - Caveman Balling, Glocktopus, or Heavy Metal - and work your way through 5 intense level segments. 

Project: HERO is an ongoing development project designed to reiterate and build on the skills I and my teammates have been learning about our crafts. It started in the summer of 2023 with a team of 7, expanded in the winter with a team of over 20, and things are looking up for the summer of 2024.

The game is built on top of Unity's FPS Microgame, bringing new art, programming, and design assets to turn a shooter template into our awesome hero shooter.

Please note that this game isn't for the 'feint of heart,' as they say. My priority with the game was delivering on an engaging experience first and foremost - there has been little to no time to develop a proper tutorial, so you're just kind of thrown into the gameplay.

Played this at Champlain Game Academy and it's awesome to see a more completed version! Very impressive stuff! I promise I didn't fall into the pits as much on the second to last level this time.
