The Game

Vine Rush is a two-player game where you race against your friend to escape a corrupted forest. In a best-of-five matchup, use boost potions, well-timed dashes, and throwable acorns to emerge victorious!

Requirements & Our Implementation

Xbox Adaptive Controller

•     Minimize d-pad use for accessibility
•     Focus on two to three simple actions using the two large buttons
•     Automate player and camera movement to reduce control complexity

Target Audience of Kids 10-12

•     Designed as a two-player competitive game, inspired by Mario Kart and Speedrunners.
•     Features direct player interaction with item-based mechanics to impact opponents or themselves.
•     Quick rounds with respawn times under 10-12 seconds to avoid frustration and keep a fast flow.

Forest Theme

•     Interpretation of an autumn setting with forest creatures and a corrupted forest
•     Narrative developed for gameplay that made sense and gave the player a reason to be racing
