What started as a simple project to learn Rive grew into something much bigger. Had such a great time building it that I even made a mock game box inspired by classic retro Atari-style games.
Game is built mostly with Data Binding, State Machines, and Events (97%). Used JavaScript to bring it online and handle the firing mechanics and audio, and scripting is used for the Titan Catfish attack. I even added that classic and sometimes frustrating 3 initial high score screen, with scores saved to a Firestore database.
If I were to do it again, probably rely more on scripting & reduce use of events.
Note: Since I started this project without much of a plan, it’s currently best played on desktop. On mobile, audio doesn’t play on some levels, and there seem to be a few redraw issues.

This idea is so cool!
This is a shameless re-submission, as I already submitted this whack-a-mole mini game for the Rive data binding challenge. But since this one is specifically about games I thought: 'what the heck, why not?'

No scripting in this one (yet).
Hopefully I can build something new for the next challenge :-]
Thanks for playing!
