Design:
The goal was to develop a shoot ’em up in one week, so the focus was placed on a simple concept paired with engaging gameplay mechanics and strong replay value. The theme of Norse mythology, already well-documented and familiar to a broad audience, helped ground this small arcade game in a rich, instantly recognizable atmosphere. This allowed us to focus our efforts on game feel while still building within a solid narrative universe.
One of the standout gameplay features of Rage on Vigrid is its loot system. Unlike many shoot ’em ups where character or equipment selection is made before gameplay begins, defining your playstyle, Rage on Vigrid introduces this evolution mid-game. As you fight in an endless war, you’re required to regularly collect the weapons and gear of your fallen enemies in order to survive. This means the gameplay evolves continuously, and only those who master every weapon will be able to achieve the highest scores.
