GAME:

Take control of the Meowskiship in this simplistic Arcade shmup, blast your way through an endless array of ice hurtling toward you from the dreaded Ice Buckit, a deranged entity hell-bent on causing as much destruction as possible.

TRIVIA:

Originally created in Python with Pygame plugins in 2014, recreated in Unity while I was learning how to create 2D games with it in 2015, slightly updated to be presented as a class project in 2016, I present: THE TRUE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE DX

The original game was created for two reasons:

1 - I wanted to actually make and *finish* a game, as I have started so many projects but never saw them through, and I wanted to overcome that by putting out something small. 

2 - So many people were hurting themselves in various ways with their ice bucket challenge videos back in 2014, including ending themselves in their stupidity, and I just didn't jive with that. For those who aren't aware, the challenge was created to bring awareness to ALS, but it was sorta lost somewhere along the way.

But hey, if this game can bring awareness without hurting anyone, then I think I've accomplished something. Check out https://www.als.org/understanding-als/what-is-als to learn more about ALS.

I was thinking of updating the game in the future, but I had a better idea: to derust, I think I will remake the game to shake off some rust, as well as implement new experimental features. Let's see how this goes!
