Teardrop

Teardrop is a game that is designed to simulate the experience of playing a classic 80s arcade game. 

The game is set in a dystopian future where arcades have been lost to history and are only found hidden away deep within run down buildings, until you, the player stumble upon one of the last working arcade machines. What interests you is that the machine isn't plugged in at the wall but somehow is being powered. Unknown to the player, the machine is being powered by the tears of the citizens of this distopian world and will only stop when the world is healed.

The aim of the game is to catch the falling tear drops with an vibrant umbrella to stop them from directly hitting the ground. You are also able to catch power ups that increase the length of the umbrella making it easier to block the tear drops.

This game was one of my first projects at West Suffolk College.
