Dr. Bob
Short puzzle game written in JavaScript

This is one of several short games I made for George Mason's CS325 (Intro to Game Design) class. The challenge of the course is to come up with unique ideas for video games and then implement a working prototype within 1-2 weeks. I am especially proud of this game, because the art, music, sound effects, levels, and programming were all done exclusively by me, despite my lack of artistic and songwriting abilities. Regardless, the core idea of the game (switching from a sidescrolling perspective to a top-down perspective to solve puzzles) works really well, and the levels really push the idea to its limits. The levels were created using an open source software called "Tiled", and were read as JSON into the game framework (an API called Phaser), which I interact with using JavaScript. The game plays in your browser, definitely give it a try!
