ANGEL'S DESCENT is a 2D arcade-like dungeon crawler where the player must venture as deep as they can down ruins swarmed by dangerous opponents, defeating boss enemies along the way. The player can increase their score by unlocking weapon upgrades, killing more enemies, collecting more items, and so on.

Contributions
Playable Character Art & Design
- All character visual designs conceptualized, drafted, and iterated into final designs.
- Character 2D sprites created in Adobe Illustrator.
- Playable character has 8 different directional views, all fully illustrated and animated.
Game Over System
- A large design pivot was to move from multiplayer to a single player arcade-reminiscent game.
- To make repeated gameplay more interesting, I implemented a game over stats screen, high scores, and created visual assets for polish.

}
