Game description
This game was made for a game jam as a small solo project. I handled all the gameplay, code, and systems myself. For the visuals, I created the main character, the enemies, and the pickups. The rest of the environment uses Unity Store Assets.

I’m a software engineer and not an artist, so making even basic character and enemy art was something new for me. I joined this jam as a personal challenge because I want to move into the game industry, and I needed a simple project I could start and finish on my own.

The jam theme was “WAVES”, so I turned it into the acronym “Waffles Are Very Evil Species”. The game is a small top-down 3D shooter where you try to survive waves of killer waffles chasing you. There is always one ammo box and one health box in a room of the map, and you need to find them if you want a chance to survive.

Controls: WASD to move, mouse to aim and shoot, and R to reload.

The game is far from polished and there’s a lot that could be improved with more time, but finishing it within the deadline means a lot to me as a personal achievement.

Theme interpretation
I interpreted the “WAVES” theme by creating waves of enemies, but with a twist:
I turned the theme into the acronym Waffles Are Very Evil Species, and the game is about surviving continuous waves of killer waffles attacking the player.
