Gameplay: Step into a rhythm-fueled fight where you take down robots to the beat of your own music. Time your shots perfectly and fire only on the beat, drop your shield to attack, and rack up points by syncing skill and sound.

Info: This game is still in development and things might still be broken/not working. Feel free to contact me if you find a bug.(:

Inspiration: This game is inspired by Beat Saber, but I wanted something that let me play my own music, including lesser-known tracks. So I decided to make my own.

Mechanics:

• This is game that has to be played in VR
• You can load your own music. The game will calculate BPM on its own
• The lights in the level are an indicator on when the beat is
• When there is a part in the song that is more intens (Chorus/Drop/...), a big enemy can spawn, more lights will turn on,...
• Enemies (Robots) move between certain points and have a certain chance of shooting on the beat
• The bullets of the enemies move faster for a short time on the beat
• The player can't shoot when the shield is active

Tools: Unity, C#

Gameplay: Navigate an ever-changing environment where gravity shifts unpredictably, flipping the world around you and altering how you move and fight. While you infiltrate hostile areas with limited ammo, the main challenge is adapting to the shifting physics and using the changing gravity to your advantage.

Info: This game is still in early development and things might still be broken/not working. Feel free to contact me if you find a bug.(:

Mechanics:

• Infiltrate hostile areas using realistic gunplay
• Manually check ammo
• Gravity shifts unpredictably, constantly changing the environment’s orientation
• Adapt movement and combat tactics to the changing physics and flipped perspectives

Tools: Unity, C#
