StellarHawk Shmup Arcade Game

OVERVIEW

This is a game development project intended to pay an homage to the old school shmup arcade games of the past. It utilizes/simulates techniques of old to get that nice pixelated look. A custom 2D sprite engine is used, instead of Unity or UnrealEngine 4, for learning and fun purposes.
