Project Slapper
Project Slapper is a unique cross-combination of the recently resurging “boomer shooter” genre of FPS and the timeless microgame-focused mayhem of WarioWare.
Slapper was a solo-dev project completed during FIEA’s Ventures class in Fall of 2022.
Microgame Categories:
Combat (Kill all enemies)
Aiming (Destroy all targets)
Race/Obstacle (Reach the End)
Collection (Pick-up all targeted objects)
Survival (Stay alive for the duration of the microgame)
Current Status & Future Plans
Most of the microgames right now focus on one specific category, leading to simpler microgames
Not necessarily a bad thing!
Good to learn what “feels right” in the game
Simple microgames make good “filler” between eventual, more complex ones
The eventual combination of mechanics to create more complex microgames will provide extra challenge and exciting gameplay opportunities.
