Awaken in Goblin Forest

Premise

You awaken in a mysterious forest inhabited by numerous goblins, armed with only dual yo-yos!  As the goblin  troops approach from the trees, defeat them and their final commander to survive the night. 

Summary

Awaken in Goblin Forest is a hack and slash game inspired by games like Devil May Cry and God of War. Make use of a variety of moves to escape enemy attacks and counter with agility and technique.

It features 1 level where you must defeat multiple waves of enemies before encountering a boss enemy to complete the level.  2 Enemy types are featured plus 1 boss enemy. There is also an extra level which only includes the boss if you wish to skip the previous parts of the level.

This game was a university project created for my final year Games Programming course. I created the code and character models/animation assets. Other assets including audio, fonts, sprites and environment models were gathered from online resources.
