Fear the Reaper

“Fear the Reaper” is a top-down survival/exploration game created for the Black & White Game Jam in May 2021. The player must use their flashlight to find a key and reveal other secrets hidden around the map, all while being chased by a reaper who is drawn to the light. I created all of the assets for this game and implemented them into Unity.  The category we chose for this jam had a 1-bit restriction, so all of the assets for this game are comprised of black and white pixels with no anti-aliasing. I also wanted the flashlight to invert colors and reveal some secret images around the map, so I used the black and white, as well as the transparency of the assets in interesting ways to change the way they interact with the different background colors. (Hover over each asset below to see it without the black background!)
