Cat Cart

About the Game

Cat Cart is a virtual reality, first-person shooter where you need to shoot alien ships to prevent them from abducting your cats. Escort nine cats through the town in your cat cart, swerving into alleyways to dodge aliens. Aim and shoot at those that manage to get through, before they come in and claim your cats! Be careful not to let all nine cats get abducted, or else you will fail your mission!

Showcased in Boston FIG Fest 2018

Cat Cart is a graduate capstone project with extensive development over the course of a year. I was brought onto the team initially to be a music composer for the game. After composing a few songs for the team, they also needed sound effects, which I offered in creating as well. I helped implement the songs and sound effects into the game in Unity using Coroutines.
