Description: An individual project to make a game similar to Rez, which is a rhythm-based rail shooter game. The game was developed as my undergraduate Honors Thesis at Western Michigan University over the course of Summer 2008, Fall 2008, and Spring 2009. As of 5/1/2008, the first three levels are finished. A demo of an older version of the game with only the first level is provided above.
