Scary Larry

Project type

Summer Camp

Date

July 2019

Game Engine

Construct 3

Scary Larry was my next game design project, coming from my third year at summer camp. I had a really hard time coming up with an idea and eventually settled on a 2D tank game where you pick up a couple of weapons and shoot zombified versions of one of the
camp instructors (his name was Larry, he wore a big goofy hat and thought the idea was really funny). I was mostly focused on trying to make something semi-playable, I really wanted to step things up from the previous year. 

Honestly, looking back, I'd say I succeeded. This game is actually somewhat fun/playable compared to Jumper Jam, the guns are really weak but still fun to fight enemies with, it controls pretty badly, and still doesn't look that good, but I'd say this was one of my better early game prototypes. It's definitely more of a game as opposed to an aspiration to be one.
