Quick Overview
The game “Help! I’m being attacked by Cyborg Cowboys who are also Communists” is an arcade shooter, where the player shoots enemies by targeting them with an eye tracker. The aim is to survive as many enemy waves as possible.
All the different types of enemies, depicting my team members and myself, as well as the weapons with their respective reload animation, were created using a pixilation animation technique in front of a green screen and then animated in After Effects.
Taking compatibility into consideration, there is also a fully playable version without the eye tracker component for the MacOS operating system, which is used in all of the photos and videos.
My task was to create parts of the UI, such as the logo and the game over screen and furthermore animate my character.
