Project Overview

Soul Rage is a fast-paced 2D pixel-art arcade shooter built for Android mobile devices. Designed for intense, mobile-friendly action, the game features a split-screen control layout: the left side of the screen controls 4-directional movement, while tapping the right side unleashes continuous rapid-fire attacks. Players must fight through waves of custom-designed enemies and survive intense boss battles.

Development Notes

Built as a solo project within a strict 7-day timeline, handling all asset creation (UI, pixel art, animations) and programming from scratch.

My Contributions

Programming & Systems

• Player Mechanics: Scripted 4-directional touch movement, attack instantiation, and collision detection from scratch.
• Resource Systems: Built Health (HP) and Mana (MP) systems with collectible Soul Orbs (MP regen) and Potions (HP recovery).
• Enemy & Boss AI: Programmed enemy range detection and multi-phase boss logic with distinct attack patterns and health states.
• HUD: Built HP/MP bars and a live Kill Counter tracking defeated enemies throughout the session.
• Android Build: Handled all Unity build settings and touch input mapping to ship a functional Android APK.

2D Art & Animation

• Pixel Art: Hand-drew all sprites in Piskel Player, Enemies, Boss, and environment tiles.
• Animation: Created frame-by-frame Idle and Attack animations for all characters.
• Environment: Designed the scrolling parallax background and styled all UI elements to match the retro aesthetic.
