Jolly Roger Rampage

Jolly Roger Rampage is a vertically-scrolling shooter made in collaboration with Luke Hanson, Zachary Ellington, and Tobias Pak using Godot. The intent of this project was to work with others to create a piece of software, and to gain experience using Agile SCRUM. The game was built over the course of 6 weeks for a Software Engineering class. Considering that 3 out of 4 of our team members had no prior experience programming games, I think our project was very successful. Gameplay involves fighting the Royal Navy while dodging their cannonballs, collecting coins to increase your highscore, and fighting a boss at the end of the game.
