📜 About the Game

This game was developed as part of a Game Jam, challenging me to create an engaging third-person survival experience within a limited timeframe. The player assumes the role of the last soldier, navigating a battlefield filled with six hostile tanks. Before time runs out, the player must destroy all six tanks using strategically placed bombs. Failure to eliminate all tanks results in an airstrike that obliterates the entire area. Survival depends on tactical thinking, precise timing, and complete destruction of all enemy forces.

💡 Challenges

• Implementing accurate aim and shoot calculations based on player distance using trigonometry
• Creating smooth bomb placement animations synchronized with gameplay logic
• Designing intelligent tank patrol paths without relying on Unity's NavMesh system
• Balancing game difficulty and mechanics within strict Game Jam time constraints
• Optimizing turret rotation and tracking systems for real-time performance

🎮 Availability

Available as a playable game on Itch.io and an open-source project on GitHub for developers and Unity enthusiasts.
