Neon Vortex Demo

Neon Vortex is a student prototype I made to explore game feel, visual feedback, and a simple risk-reward mechanic.

The main idea is that you can absorb enemy projectiles and turn them into orbiters around your ship. The more you collect, the stronger your release attack becomes but holding onto too many can also put you in danger.

The demo includes several enemy types, mines, drones, health pickups, an overload system and a mini-boss encounter. My main focus with the project was making the movement, attacks, effects and overall combat feel as satisfying as possible.

This is a short prototype made as part of my game programming studies.
