LAR was an 3.5 month Senior game project made by a 3 person team. Its only requirement was that it was in 3d.

LAR is an old-school, fast-paced, endurance shooter much like Geometry Wars, where players fight to keep the darkening world bright and colorful. Take control of a ship in an environment constantly being consumed by darkness. Remain in the dark for too long and prepare to embrace death. Prevent this fate by fighting back relentless enemies who explode in a variety of colors, bringing temporary light and color back to create an ever-changing playfield.

Recognition

Squishy is a solid implementation of a slick concept for a physics game. It’s a little unpolished, probably due to the time constraints of being a student project, but it’s a great student project. Hell, I’d hire them.
