2D Game Development and Environmental Awareness

In 'Depths,' players assume the role of a shark striving to survive in an ocean contaminated by an oil spill. The gameplay involves eating fish to regain health while avoiding larger sharks, harmful garbage, and the gradually depleting effects of pollution. This project marked my first experience creating a 2D game in Unreal Engine, enhancing my skills in sprite management and blueprint scripting.
