RhayThem (2023)

RhayThem is a hypercasual rhythm shoot em up game, for Windows, made in Unity.

Made in August 2023 for Game Programming assignment. (Semester 3)

This is my 2nd Unity game.

How to Play:

• The player can choose to aim and Dash or Shoot to the beat of the music

• Dashing is not only for movement but also for attack, by ramming into enemies

• Enemies can spawn with different types of attacks

• Kill an enemy can have a chance to drop their type of attack as ammo for the player

• They can also drop points

• There are destroyable obstacles around, one of them is dangerous and can explode with projectiles if hit by anything

• The enemies are endless, so this is a survival highscore game

Mouse	Look and Aim
Hold Left Click	Shoot to the Beat

Trivia:
The challenge in this project was to make a rhythm game, so I learned that if I could scale an object to the beat of the music, then that could be used as a trigger to activate events. This makes the music able to control when the player and enemies are able to move and shoot.

At the time, I did not know that too much motion blur was very bad, sorry
