Hook & Sinker

Hook & Sinker is a 2D bullet-hell boss rush game where players take on the role of a hunter who slays monstrous sea creatures. The game challenges players to master navigating the stage and utilizing their harpoon gun to hook and sink a massive leviathan.

I worked with seven other talented developers  with a wide range of skills to bring this epic duel to life. We ran into plenty of large road blocks along the way due to our team composition, and as a result, lots of content we wanted to include in this prototype simply could not make it in. The gameplay ideas and design decisions I personally pitched to the team in light of the project's vastly reduced scope largely shaped the direction of the final game. Despite these frequent development hiccups, I believe we made the best of the situation and were still able to create something together that I am proud of.
