What is Channel Haunters?
Channel Haunters is an Unreal prototype I made in about three weeks, and is a top-down, twin-stick shooter staring a ghost trapped inside a TV that is constantly changing channels.
Binge-Battling
In this prototype, the player battles hordes of enemies in randomly-selected, yet predetermined, groups. Depending on the area, or channel, the player uses an entirely different weapon. This prototype had three areas and, thus, three weapons.
