Equinox

Equinox is a unique arcade-shooter style video game that I made with Collin Dutter many years ago.

Quick Description

You control the Equinox, a sphere filled with mass. The more mass the Equinox takes on, the bigger it gets. Enemies will try to come and siphon mass from the Equinox, draining its lifeforce. You must use your mass cannon and grapple cannon to destroy and absorb enemies, respectively. But watch out! The enemies grow stronger by the minute… how long can you keep the Equinox alive?

Thoughts

This project, our second major work, ended up a lot more polished than Dungeon Gmae was. Equinox comes complete with a tutorial, an options menu, a more complete game experience, a high-scores table, better graphics, and more originality. While Dungeon Gmae felt like an exploration of what computer programming was, Equinox is a work of art and mental effort that I truly am proud of. Of course, there is a lot that can be improved upon, and someday I hope to revisit and remake Equinox as a more complete mobile app.
