Project Description: Be the laser.

Attribution and Disclaimers

This is a school project and replication of the game Burnout, created by mrkos and WinstonWalrus for ScoreSpace Jam #15 on itch.io in September of 2021. It came in 3rd place out of 49 entries.

This project was created using Unity. The sprites used for gameplay were found on KenneyNL here and are licensed using CC0 1.0 Universal. The background image of the game is an image captured/generated by NASA and the ESA, found here and titled "Crab Nebula, as Seen by Herschel and Hubble". It was captured using the Hubble Space Telescope and is not subject to any copyright (see: NASA media usage guidelines). That image was color-shifted and dimmed by me.
