This is the first video game that I programmed completely on my own. It was for my Experimental Games class where we are given a theme and must quickly turn it into a game. I coded and made art for this game in 1 week. The theme was broken and I incorporated that into the control scheme. This is a take on the classic helicopter in a cave game. You play as Super Penguin flying his ship through a cavern in search of some nefarious villain. Every hit you take breaks your ship a little more, hindering your ability to move in one of the 4 directions. But the more hits you take the faster your score will go up. Your ship can handle 8 hits, but its Game Over on the 9th.
