Become the hero's sidekick in Hero's Assistant, help him become the hero people believe him to be by throwing him his weapons and health supplies to keep away the baddies!How long will the hero survive?Game Made for GMTK Game Jam 2023!
Hero's Assistant was a two-man project, made over the course of two days for the GMTK Game Jam in 2023. The overarching theme of the Game Jam was "role reversal".
In our project, you play as the hero's sidekick and aid him in staying alive while enemies are constantly running at him. To do so, you must frantically run around picking up weapons and health packs that spawn around the map to throw to the AI hero.
Since this was only a two-man project, we shared the design responsibilities. I did the all the art assets using MagicaVoxel to create a fun, light hearted aesthetic, while the other team member worked on all the programming and AI navigation.
Out of 6,805 entries from more than 22,000 participants, our two-man project came in 1,656th place.
