This project is part of Team Guaca Mole Games' submission for DES310 - Professional Project in 2023. Our team was tasked with creating a game according to a client's brief for 14 weeks.

Description

SuperZeroes is a Couch Co-Op 2D Platform Brawler Game. The players take up the roles of two superhero-wannabes, which have their own unique and silly fighting style.
The biggest Unique Selling Point of the game is the combo attacks, which make the otherwise weak characters, very strong.
The game is divided into 17 levels and the purpose is clear - navigate through the levels, fight enemies and get burgers as a reward.

SuperZeroes? 

We have all seen traditional stories about superheroes - they are strong and brave, fighting for justice and helping the people.
Well, the SuperZeroes are quite the opposite - they are silly, strange, unpredictable, but most importantly, they are fighting to get more of their favorite burgers. It is time to meet Zip-Zap and Boom-Boom.

Zip-Zap

• Short and slim possum which is very fast and cunning.
• Electric Powers... actually a taser, which can electrify enemies and SOMETIMES Boom-Boom. 

  Boom-Boom

• Big and strong racoon which is very slow and feebleminded.
• Has very strong punches... and Zip-Zap is well aware of that.

The BEST DUO

Yes, our characters may seem silly, but boring, overall nothing so special, but once they start cooperating, they become unstopable. Using unconventional fighting techniques, this duo can destroy the powers of evil... or at least get all the burgers they want.
