Upgrade Your Bumper 2024

Description

Upgrade Your Bumper 2024 is a fast-paced racing rogue-lite where speed, strategy, and bumper upgrades collide. Race across dynamic tracks, face off against aggressive opponents, and power up your vehicle to take down a formidable final boss. Each run delivers a unique experience thanks to randomized power-ups, shifting weather conditions, bounty mechanics, and evolving challenges that keep the action fresh. Originally developed for the University of Houston's Introduction to Game Development course (COSC 4358), the game supports mouse, keyboard, and controller input—though a mouse is required for certain menu navigation. While the project contains known bugs and areas of rough code, it stands as a playable showcase of core game development concepts. For those curious about its inner workings, the source code is available on the team's GitHub repository. Every race is a new chance to upgrade, adapt, and dominate the track.
