Weapons on Wheels was the first Flash game that I developed after messing around with Flash animation and Game Maker for many years prior. It was released in June 2010.
Summary
Weapons on Wheels is a 2D top-down racing game where the player is tasked to complete each race placing 4th place or better. Each car is equipped with a different weapon that can be used to keep the other opponents at bay.
Featuring 12 levels and 6 available cars with upgradeable attributes (speed, acceleration, ammunition), Weapons on Wheels has been played over 4,000,000 times since its release.
Being my first game, Weapons on Wheels definitely has its areas where it can be improved. In hindsight, a steep difficulty curve and simple/repetitive gameplay are the two main problems plaguing the game.
All artwork, animation, and programming was done by myself using Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop.
