Rocket-Propelled Lucy Sparks

RPLS was one of my first game projects made back in 2017 made for my Game Design class while learning to make 2D platformers in Unity with one unique mechanic. I chose rocket jumping and spent a long time redoing the original sprite since at the time I didn't know much about rendering a pixel character in an aesthetically pleasing way. So much so that the character ballooned in size over time and I didn't have enough time to polish the animations what with also learning how to import sprites in Unity and implementing the rocket jump mechanic. The end result wasn't too sloppy gameplay-wise but I definitely felt inspired to return to the project in 2019 and redesigned the character to the style of some cave story fanart by @puppiesandanime on Twitter. I still haven't shown off this prototype but maybe when i finish these animations I can go back to making a full level.
