Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots

What it does

This web app allows for players to practice on their own or take on online opponents in a face-paced boxing game that uses their phone's gyro to simulate bobbing, dodging, and weaving around their opponent's jabs and hooks.

How we built it

We built our app using hand-drawn and vectorized sprites and environments, Godot and Web Assembly for functionality, and hosting through Vercel.

Challenges we ran into

Our robot sprites were created in greyscale to allow for custom color overlaying; however, this caused some lag to the game we had to troubleshoot.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The hand-drawn elements, the fast-past and infinitely replayable gameplay, and the retro feel brought into the modern age.

What we learned

How to overlay assets in a way that simulates smooth animations, how to describe and create audio elements for proper feedback, how to consider a seamless user experience in building a web app.
