Roast boy & Carvery girl is an isometric game similar to Lego games, crash bandicoot clash of the titans and more.
You play as Roast boy & Carvery girl as you embark on an epic quest to restore order to the fast food chains around the world.
Fight back the evil corporations of healthy eating and restore order to the carvery restaurants.
I worked on this a duo project with a fellow 3D modeller Alex Keates, he did the blueprints and models while I did the level design and helped with many more aspects.
I was set the task to make 3 levels themed around Texas.
You set off on the adventure to destroy a great grease factory that is blocking residents from visiting their favourite Rib House, this cannot go on any longer.
Take up arms with two incredibly unique characters who fight their way past all reason and common sense to restore the rib house to its former glory.

Game Mechanics
In the game you play as 1 of 2 characters, each with their own unique skill set and abilities to impact the levels.
Each character has a basic attack which every 3rd consistent attack does an empowered version.
They both have an ultimate ability which refreshes roughly every 10 seconds, and both characters have 3 cubes of health, this can be refreshed by picking up blocks of food on the floor.
If a character is to go down, they can be revived by one player going up to them and reviving them, or if they're separated, by picking up food.
