Wall jumping feature
Overview
One of the features I designed for the game is the wall jumping feature. This feature allowed the player to jump and slide on specified walls.
Design intention
The wall jumping feature was implemented to add a traversal challenge to the game. By enabling the player to jump and slide on specific walls, we wanted to create a sense of fluidity and agility.
Ultimately, our goal was to create a fun and engaging feature that combined well with the players' jetpack feature.
For this feature I designed and developed
-
Ability to detect specific 'jumping-walls'
-
Ability for the player to slide down these walls
-
Wall jumping: Ability to wall jump of these walls
UI / UX design

I contributed to the UI / UX by designing and developing the main- and sub menu's. I wanted to create a unique scrolling menu that was easy to navigate and fitted within the theme of the game.
