Created with Vitor Luquezi over 3 days for Ludum Dare 48 using Unreal Engine 4.26. The theme was Deeper and Deeper.
I handled all programming tasks including shooting mechanics and integrating FMOD music and sounds. While Vitor handled creating music and sound FX.
Deeper Sleeper is a top-down shooter about defending a little girl (Amy) from nightmares while she tries to sleep. You play the Deeper Sleeper, a product designed to protect the dreams of nearby sleepers, eliminating anything that might wake them up. The longer you let Amy sleep, the deeper sleep she reaches, and the higher your score goes. However deeper sleep causes more and more nightmares to appear.
