Game a Week: Timers

This piece of work was one of the submissions for my second year at university, titled 'Computer Games Design (Rapid Prototyping)'. Where I was awarded with 90 marks.

About the Project

This week's theme was 'Timers'. So, for my first week I wanted to create something small and simple since I didn't want to go overly ambitious for my first project. The idea that I came up with was a platformer where you had to make it to the top before the time ran out. Attempting to be creative, I thought I would play on the theme and design the map to be a Sand Clock, so you're escaping through a timer and the time restriction is the sand rising.
