*********** PWNED (2006)

Probably the most controversial game I've done; *********** Pwned was made for CCT300H5F, a class I took in the fall semester of 2006 at the University of Toronto.
Due to the request of the Hamilton Central Police Department, this game has been removed.

Instructions:

Use the ARROW keys to move your character.

Use the CTRL keys to fire.  Your shooting direction will automatically lock when the CTRL key is held down.

Alternatively, the SHIFT key can be held to lock your shooting direction when the CTRL key is not held down.

Robotron Blitz (2004)

Robotron Blitz was my entry into the 2004 Retro Remakes Competition.  Out of over 70 participants, Robotron Blitz tied for 11th place.  Development time for this project was a little over one week.

Use SPACE to select options on the main menu.

Use the ARROW keys to move.

Use the W, S, A, D keys to fire.

Alternatively, one could use the SHIFT key to strafe (lock firing direction) and the CTRL key to fire.

Press the SPACE bar to perform a dive which avoids all hazards.  You can dive as long as your dive gauge (hour glass) isn't empty.  The gauge recharges over time.

Penguin Dash 3 was a small and simple game to top off the Penguin Dash 'trilogy'.  Complete in a little under a week, I learned quite a bit about making explosions from this project.

Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move the penguins.

Catching Wayne (the bouncing guy) closer to the right side will increase Wayne's momentum to the right, while catching Wayne closer to the left will increase Wayne's momentum to the left.
