Making Ape Out's Juicy Combat in Unity | Game Jam Devlog

For the Brackeys Game Jam, I recreated Ape Out's design, colourful style and smash 'em up combat. In Synthetic you can use a grappling hook-style tentacle to grab enemies and slingshot yourself across the level. Made with Unity :)

///About Me :D
Hey, I'm Adam. I started making games 5 years ago at the age of 11, with no programming knowledge, art skills or musical talents. Since then, by watching thousands of youtube tutorials, essays and talks as well as by doing (even more) googling I've been able to release 14 small games as well as COSMOS my first commercial indie game, which launched on Steam July 2020!
Now, my main goal is to grow this channel and, maybe in the future, to begin working on another large project. I hope you enjoy this journey with me and are able to take something back, to help you with whatever your own creative aspirations are - Dawnosaur
