1930s Style Shooter built in Rive š¦šļø
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.

Rendering: Manual control over render stack & matrix transforms.
