Known Issues

There's bound to be a few. This section will be updated as they appear.

Herman

• The tanks and/or Herman may clip off their platform. This is a bug-like feature. 
  • The canon explanation is two-fold:
    • In the case of the tank clipping through the platform, Herman is rejecting the tank from his nest as a mother bird may do to her hatchling.
    • In the case of Herman clipping, he has decided to abandon his nest of tanklings and annihilate the city himself.

Development

• The game was built using Unity Editor version 2022.3.11f1 and version-controlled using Plastic SCM. 

• Sprites were drawn primarily using Aseprite.
  • Shoutout AdamCYounis for the Apollo pallette.

• Music and SFX were composed using Ableton Live 11.
• The game is heavily inspired by Namco's classic arcade shooter Bosconian
