The Color of Doom

Team: Overscope
Theme: Robots
Genre: Third Person Action/Adventure
Engine: Half-Life 2
Cohort: Cohort 08, July '08

With swarms of deadly robots ready to destroy Dangeropolis, the Jester readies to save the world with his amazing color-switching superpowers! This fast-action third-person shooter is a tribute to classic arcade games like Contra and Smash TV, but with a hook: switch colors to go on the offensive or defensive! Blue hurts (and is hurt by) blue, while red damages (and is hurt by) red. Run and jump with expertise to explore the robot factory’s mysterious inner workings and eventually destroy its very core! And always keep an eye out for a better gun!

A team of 16 students created The Color of Doom over five months as a full conversion of Half-Life 2: Episode One.
