STELLAR

Stellar is a 2D game in which you control a little black hole that loves the stars so much they want to collect them all. The core mechanic is similar to the classic game Snake, where your tail grows by collecting pickups and you lose by running into it. In Stellar, collectible stars get added to your train as you encounter them, and the little black hole must  avoid running into collected stars and exploding into a supernova. Unlike Snake, Stellar has a handful of levels with a finite number of stars to collect. Each level contains a set of constellations that increase in difficulty.  Stellar an arcade-style game with a calming, ethereal feeling, where exploring the cosmos is paired with a simple story and strategic elements.

I worked with one other person and completed the project in six weeks in a game design class.  ​In addition to co-designing the game, I programmed its systems, including the star trail, the save system, and the level selection and loading.
