Hit The Targets Tennis!!


I have been playing a lot of games on the website Glorious Trainwrecks and I felt like I should make something quick as opposed to the long project that I have been working on for over a month, so I made "Hit The Targets Tennis!!" It's a pretty simple idea based around the idea that I wanted to quickly make a two player game that could have a lot of different levels. This is the most "game" like thing that I have made and it was an interesting experience thinking about all the stuff I have learned about level design and pacing and difficulty which are things I haven't thought very much about before.


The pace of making this game felt good as I tried to make one level per day that I was working on it, so the whole thing took me about a week to make. The speed of making each level forced me to think on my feet and to try and keep things fresh. For this game I also wanted to make all of the graphics rather than relying on clip art so the game has sort of a simplistic and cohesive style rather than feeling like a collage or having different resolutions.

Anyways, have fun messing around with HTTT!! Also, here is an in progress town map of the pizza game that I have been working on.

More Screenshots!


Making a game at the scale of what this is now is fun! I will talk about some narrative structure and such when I am done, but I feel like I should write less and do more! My goal is to have this game finished by the end of the month at the latest!
