Decay Protocol

A fast-paced survival arcade game where the floor crumbles beneath your feet. Made with Unity 6 & C#

🕹️ High Concept

You are a rogue process in a dying mainframe. Every step you take corrupts the memory grid, causing the floor to disintegrate into the void.

• Never stand still: Idleness is death.
• Watch your step: You create the holes you must navigate.
• Survive the purge: Hunter processes and cleaning drones are trying to delete you.

🎮 Controls

• WASD / Arrow Keys: Move
• Space: Jump / Air recovery (Includes Coyote Time)
• R: Restart (After death)

✨ Key Features

• Procedural Decay: A "Swiss Cheese" map mechanic where every tile touched falls after 0.5s.
• Dynamic Difficulty: Tile decay speed and Enemy spawn rates increase as your score climbs.
• Combo System: Chain "Data Orb" collections within 2 seconds to multiply your score.
• Power-Up System:
  • 🟡 Speed Boost: Move faster.
  • 🟢 Hover: Immunity to gravity/holes for a short time.
  • ⚪ Light-Footed: Walk without breaking tiles.
  • 🔵 Time Slow: Slows down world time (Matrix style).
• Audio-Reactive Visuals: The neon grid pulses in sync with the BPM of the soundtrack.

🛠️ Technical Architecture

This project was built using a Clean Architecture (Ports & Adapters) approach to separate game logic from the Unity Engine API, ensuring testability and cleaner code.

• Core Domain: GameSession manages the state, scoring, and rules purely in C# (no MonoBehaviours).
• View Adapters: TileViewAdapter and PlayerController handle the visual representation and physics.
• Pooling System: Custom TilePool to handle the high-frequency creation and destruction of grid tiles without GC spikes.
• Input System: Built on the new Unity Input System package.
• Juice: Heavy use of LeanTween for UI bounce, camera shake, and emission pulsing.
