Vertical Slice of a recreation of Xevious created as part of a low level gameplay module in my 3rd year of university. The vetical slice was created without an engine and only in C++ with use of SFML 

The project recreates most of the game's original gameplay loop and includes 6 enemies in total. Part of the assignment was to update a mechanic from the original game, for which I chose to expand the players control options by giving the player the ability to fire projectiles backwards, and adjusting how enemies behave to balance this.
