About This Project
Type Wars is a mobile educational Space Invaders-style game that was developed collaboratively with a graphic design professor at Humber College. Its purpose is to help students early in their graphic design careers identify proper font pairings and learn industry specific terminology while staying engaged. Blending education and games is a particular balance between fulfilling game play and educational content which presented an interesting challenge to my development teammate and I.
My Contributions
In this game, players will face numerous bosses that are tasked with sending out different fonts to defeat them. The player must navigate their ship to eliminate the enemies sent by the bosses and ultimately defeat the boss itself. Throughout the game, players can collect various power-ups that can be used strategically to take down both the enemies and the boss.
This game is designed to teach players about typography. We achieve this in several ways, including multiple-choice questions during gameplay that reward players with higher scores and power-ups. After defeating a boss, players can access a section where they can review the enemies they have overcome and learn more about the corresponding typefaces.
