slash n bash

A computer vision controlled fighting game with hit priority, combo, and timing mechanics, full animation, and playable levels.


About The Project

Imgur "slash n bash" is a side-scrolling retro themed fighting game controlled by real life body movement.

The project was ideated, designed, and implemented in less than 24 hours for the Carnegie Mellon Hack112 challenge. The project won 1st place out of 200 participants.

Features

  • Pose estimation controlled action.
  • 9 playable and distinct levels with increasing difficult enemies.
  • Smooth level transitioning with parallax background and walk animations.
  • Fully animated blocks, attacks, hits, walks, idles, deaths, and more.
  • Balanced and playtested fighting mechanics with hit priority, block counterdamage to discourage move spam, and designed for an emphasis on timing/rhythm.
  • Full sound effects and background music.
  • Levels designed to progressively teach user the game mechanics.
  • Instructions, start, win, and death splash screens.

Design principles

  1. Make the user truly feel like a powerful sword wielding fighter.
  2. Mirror virtual game to player real life pose as accurately as possible.
  3. Provide strong enough challenge where level completion feels like an accomplishment.
