Gameplay (!! Epilepsy Danger !!)
Pitch
This game is an action/bullet hell inspired by "Vampire Survivor". You kill waves of enemies while getting new weapons and upgrading them when you level up. All the enemies act on the beat of the music, only the player is free from the beat.
Context
This game was made with a team consisting of 3 programmers and is the project we had to make for our C++ class. It was our first time creating a game in C++ and we created it from almost zero (we used the SFML library to help).
