Description of the project:

This game is called Antibody Operation. It is a twin stick shooter, top-down game that will be made for the desktop PC platform and it is targeted towards people of all ages. Antibody Operation is about the player being a white blood cell responsive defence system that attempts to minimise the rate of contamination by emitting antibody projectiles that make the viruses implode.

Game Objective:

You are the white blood cell and you have a specified amount of life's and by simply touching the viruses once you will lose those life's. You as the player must prevent the contamination meter from filling up to full by making the viruses implode and survive for as long as you can.

Game mechanics/Controls:

Movement and Antibody Emissions : 

Use the left joystick to hold and move in all directions. Use the right joystick to hold and position in the direction you would like to aim at to emit white blood cells to erase the viruses.

Contamination bar:

The contamination bar will fill up if there is a certain amount of viruses on the screen after a specified period of time. As well as filling up every time you lose a life or if a specific enemy increases the contamination amount due to their special effect. You can reduce the contamination bar by destroying the viruses that are approaching you by emitting antibody projectiles. 

Project's meaningful message:

I had decided to create this project to propose the idea of simulating what it is like for a white blood cell that is living within a body to fight off the onslaught of different viruses that can invade. I wanted to create an engaging and satisfying player experience in which the player can have a hands on active role while the ongoing battle of body invasion is happening within real time and can feel like they have helped protect a living body. Furthermore, to represent this further by being able to tally up the player's virus destroyed results into a scoreboard that prompts them to keep helping to destroy as many viruses as they can.
