Trash Toppler

Project Overview

In Trash Toppler, two players face off to clear unstable towers of rubbish while sabotaging each other using cannons and block-dropping mechanics. The quirky sewer setting reinforces the messy theme: your only resource is waste, and every round tests balance, timing, and strategy. Built in just 48 hours during the 2024 UKIE Student Game Jam, the project challenged our team to deliver maximum fun in a minimal timeframe.

Highlights: UKIE Technical Achievement Award at the UKIE Student Game Jam, showcase at W.A.S.D London.
