1930s Style Shooter built in

1930s Style Shooter built in Rive 🐦🎞️

For the Rive Game Challenge on Contra, I built a fully playable shooter inspired by "Crazy Chicken." Visually, I went for a retro 1930s aesthetic: I hand-drew every asset, mixing Frame-by-Frame animation with Rive bones. I built this in just six days! It is currently in Beta (WIP), but I plan to keep developing it. ✅ Dynamic Spawning: Using Artboard:instance() for bird prefabs. ✅ Logic: Mechanics via Node Script Lifecycle (init, advance, draw). ✅ ViewModel: HUD & State sync via context:viewModel(). ✅ Rendering: Manual control over render stack & matrix transforms. ✅ Input: Precise hitbox queries & pointer event forwarding.
