catycaldwell/fallfury

Video game project that I built to showcase the capabilities of Windows 8 DirectX in modern apps.

FallFury

FallFury is an open source 2D game for Windows 8. You are playing as a bear that falls down from the sky, collecting buttons, avoiding obstacles and fighting monsters.

This project demonstrates the capabilities of Windows Store hybrid applications, leveraging both the power of DirectX and XAML. It also supports an extensible level model, where developers can adjust the character behavior and the item sets by modifying specially designed XML files.

If you want to play the game, download FallFury from the Windows Store Marketplace!
