3. Wailing Whales

Wailing Whales is a 2D arcade-style game I developed for the GAME 333 Game Design Expo and the GAME 355’s Game Design Expo. The game is about plastic pollution in the ocean, and the player must pet the whales to calm them down.

The goal of the game is to get ti the whales before they despawn to up your score, but watch out for the plastic! Pollution has been ramping up within the ocean, and the game brings awareness and hopes to get others in preventing pollution from progressing. I made this game by myself during the spring of 2022 as a project for my ODU game design class. I received positive feedback from the game and changes were made with it. The overall challenge to make this game individually was fun and it did have some stressful moments, but seeing the final product being played by others made it worthwhile.
