CyberBall is a 3D, top-down sport game, focusing on player movement and tight controls. The player's goal is simple: throw more balls into your opponent's goal than they can throw into yours. First player to seven goals wins. The game was made in five weeks in Michigan State University's Game Design and Development program and received the People's Choice award at the 2016 MSU Game Design Showcase.
Circuit is a 3D, first-person physics-based puzzle-solving game where the player's goal is to pass through the levels to reach the command center of their abandoned space station via manipulating the panels in a level to bounce an energy ball into a receiver, opening the door forward. The game was made in five weeks in Michigan State University's Game Design and Development program and was considered to be the best game of the class by both fellow students and the instructors.
VRchery
VRchery is a virtual reality archery exercise game. The player's goal is to fight off waves of robots with your trusty slingbow, defending a central point on the map that enemies are drawn to. The game encourages moving around the level to get advantageous positions, and provides a near full-body workout. The game was made in a semester in Michigan State University's Game Design and Development program. A build was playable at IndieCade 2017 and received the Best VR Game award at the 2017 MSU Game Design Showcase.
