Rapocalypse: GPA Saver is an action-packed 2D platformer and shooter developed in Unity. As the final apocalyptic grading cycle approaches, it's up to you to navigate treacherous terrain, battle relentless obstacles, and save students from a devastating GPA collapse!
Your actions matter—with multiple endings depending on the number of students you can rescue, you'll need precise platforming, sharp combat skills, and strategic thinking to achieve the "True Ending."
- Dynamic 2D Platforming: Master a fluid movement system complete with double jumps, dashing, and continuous momentum physics.
- Intense Action & Combat: Shoot your way through waves of dynamically spawning enemies (Chasers, Movers, and Flyers).
- Defend Objectives: Protect crucial characters like "Tony" during high-stakes potion-brewing survival waves (Level 2).
-
Multiple Endings: Replayability is built-in! The ending you receive is directly tied to the number of students you manage to save during your run:
-
Bad Ending:
$\le$ 5 students saved. - Normal Ending: 6 - 15 students saved.
-
True Ending:
$\ge$ 16 students saved.
-
Bad Ending:
- Cinematic Cutscenes: Engaging opening and ending cinematics utilizing Unity's Timeline and subtitle integration.
