It's great to see a game-sharing forum post with a prompt. I'm looking forward to reading about how everyone came up with their game!
My team realized early on that we wanted to create a game with a retro aesthetic, and we figured that our basic premise of fighting things that come from doors could lend itself well to a edgy 90s aesthetic that harken back to games like Doom and Silent Hill. When we figured that out I couldn't help but add in weird 90s tropes that were common in games without a lot of plot, like having to fight in Hell to REDEEM YOURSELF, to give our submission a bit of personality.
When it came to the gameplay we took some inspiration from Draven's axe catching mechanic in League of Legends and I think that came out well :)
Check out our game below, and vanquish some demons...
