Slimber Climber

Slimber Climber is a 2D adventure platformer I worked on with Gabriel Lea, Zachary Bergman, Benjamin Smith, and Jordan Chandler. The game has you playing as a small slime climbing an icy mountain in order to sunbathe at its top. The slime is armed with shotgun, which it uses to defend against enemies and as a means of traversing the network of caves within the mountain. Click the slime below to play the game.

My role was designing the characters for the game, as well as animating them. This includes the slime, the two enemies, the shotgun and a falling icicle hazard. I made all of these sprites and animations using Adobe Photoshop, which at the time, was relatively new to me as I was starting to understand creating digital art and before I had access to a drawing tablet of my own.

Here is some of the art I did for the game.

And here are some of the animations. The remaining animations were just two-three frames, and weren’t as important enough to warrant more.
