Starfall: Last Stand is a first person shooter where the aim is to defend the last human-manned vessel in the universe from endless waves of relentless enemies. Take control of three powerful turrets armed with Vulcan Miniguns to make a last stand against impossible odds. Die with dignity. Kill them all.

This game was produced with the goal of developing an arcade-style game as fast as possible within a very short time span, much like a game jam project. The development process of this game taught valuable lessons about rapid iteration techniques and effective time management.

The final build of Starfall: Last Stand features a fully functioning UI, Main Menu, Game Over screen, Sound Sliders, Difficulty Settings and a High Score system. The game also features fast paced gameplay, adaptive sound design, waves of increasing difficulty, a minimap, two weapon types and a dynamic HUD with multiple player feedback systems.

The game makes use of a few different free resources from the unity asset store, a selection of sound effects from freesound.org and the phenomenal music from Mick Gordon’s DOOM (2016) OST.
