HOVERBURGER

HOVERBURGER is an arcade game that explores the opposite perspective from an earlier game jam I worked on (both with multi-game collaborator Nick Santaniello) called SPACE RAM, where a Galactus-like being continuously grew larger as it consumed the galaxy. In HOVERBURGER, you operate a burger-styled spacecraft in a bid to lure the Space Ram away from devouring Earth.

I designed the cabinet with influence from Tempest, Solar Jetman (the in-game craft), and VEC9. Getting the secondary screens to integrate with the form, design, and dev work was a main goal and challenge, but it turned out great. Also comes in a foldable, overhead compartment-sized Burglet version.
