Mänteater is an arcade game, based on the 1986 classic, “Rampage.” Destroy polluting factories and eat humans, while trying to reach a high score. Playable on Windows machines, the game can be downloaded on itch.io.
In this project, I was the character designer & 2d character artist/animator. Additionally, I created the in-game illustrations for the game, and assisted in creating additional environmental art.
Mänteater was a Bit1 finalist in 2023.
In-game win screens
Pixel animations
In-game animations were created by combining three spritesheets (lower body, upper body, tail) and some of the animations above don’t show the full range of animation as a result. Each part was hand-animated and carefully made to match.
Concept art
Focus was on finding a recognizable silhouette and fun, campy character design that could express different attacks and moods easily.
