WhipSplash!
Welcome to WhipSplash! A huge tsunami is catching up to you, and your only option left is to RUN! Dodge obstacles and traps that lie in your way, and avoid getting consumed by the waves!
Done for the 2023 H2 GameJam; I was the lead artist for our team, tasked with designing the overall artstyle and feel of the game. I went with a Gameshow-inspired aesthetic as I thought it suited the style of our gameplay, combining dastardly traps with vibrant colours and cute characters. I also designed and 3D-modelled the characters and gachapon machine, and overseed the overall art consistency of the game.
