Rocket Riot is a unique side-view shooter for Xbox 360 featuring jetpacks, fully destructible environments, tons of power-ups and a very appealing retro look. The game received great reviews in 2009, won multiple awards and has become one of the hidden gems of Xbox Live Arcade.

I was a Gameplay Programmer Intern on Rocket Riot and implemented core gameplay elements like weapons, power-ups and single-player game modes. I have to say that few things are as fun and rewarding as coding the rocket launcher in a game like Rocket Riot!
