Tocker Raccoon Gameplay Reel
Overview
Tocker Raccoon is a supporting case study for creative mechanic design under input constraints. The game turns movement and combat into one connected punch-driven loop, then escalates that loop through an award-winning Infinite Dash mechanic.
My Role
I implemented key movement, ability, enemy, and health systems while collaborating with an international team across time zones and language differences.
Key Systems
Infinite Dash Mechanic
I designed and implemented the Ability Smash Prize-winning Infinite Dash mechanic, unlocked by defeating numbered enemies in sequence and granting a short burst of unlimited dash use.
Enemy AI And Spawning
I built AI and spawning behavior for bats, snakes, and engineered bears so the dash and combat systems had varied targets and pacing.
Player Health
I implemented the player health system, including an invulnerability buffer between damage ticks to keep combat readable and fair.
Outcome
Tocker Raccoon shows mechanic creativity, ability design, combat/movement implementation, and cross-cultural team collaboration in a compact jam setting.
