Lost in the Sauce is an action game where you play as a shark to defeat enemies, gather orbs and combine them to gain power-ups and upgrade skills. You can play the game here.

The game was developed in Unity and C# for a week-long game jam. The theme of the game jam was "Magic as a Science". I was part of a team of five as one of the programmers, though I also assisted with the game design.

Since this game jam lasted for a week, there was more time to brainstorm ideas that were more ambitious. However, I was taught the importance of developing a solid plan to pace ourselves while remaining flexible in order to adapt to unexpected situations. In the end, not all of our ideas could make it in, and we had to decide which were not feasible and had to be dropped.

I was responsible for:

• Player movement using old Unity input system
• Player stats representation and tracking, and an interface for other game systems to influence it
• Skill activation, skill cooldown and skill interaction with enemies using physics casts to detect enemies
• Enemy movement that constantly moves towards the player
• Projectile movement
