Problem Statement

Recreating the classic "Space Invaders!" game on the mobile platform with the addition of new elements.

​

What is the game?

Finest Hour is a top-down window shooter, where the player defends a beach from incoming enemies using a tank. Being adept in defending rewards the player with in-game currency that he can use to purchase better equipped tanks and repeat the game loop.

​

The game also features a short and thematic tutorial that allows the player to jump right into the game with all the necessary learning. I chose to add a tower defense element to it in order to offer the player a chance to play in a risk induced manner. 

​

Owing to limitations of the engine's serialization, the game saves it's entire shop mechanism using one variable. The jury that assessed me especially liked the technical feat that I achieved by this game and it was well appreciated. 

​

As a testament of my development, I put it up on an open drive 

​

Note that this project is a part of my first semester jury at Rubika Supinfogame.
