SUMMARY

Michael-Wave is a game where you fight off “Waves” of enemies as a microwave named “Michael.”

This game concept was created in just 2 days for the GMTK game jam. The theme was “Countdown,” which we captured by having you use food powerups by microwaving them. You can only keep powerups for as long as their cook time is, but hanging onto them for longer gives you stronger, “cooked” powerups.

For example, microwaving the egg gives you an explosion attack. Once the countdown reaches 15 seconds left, the egg catches on fire and your explosion gets bigger and more powerful.

My role was primarily creating the game assets, UI, and designing enemy and player attacks. Here’s some of the early concept art as we were ideating.
