Rollerball Rampage

Rollerball Rampage is an arcade-style sumo battle game where the player must knock increasingly challenging waves of enemies off a floating island. I designed and programmed the entire project solo — building the enemy AI system, wave spawner, and physics interactions entirely in C#. The project was a deep dive into object pooling, OOP architecture, and game-feel tuning.

• → Enemy AI system using vector-based movement to track and pursue the player in real time
• → Wave spawner with configurable difficulty scaling — enemies get faster and more aggressive per wave
• → Object pooling system to reuse enemy instances and minimize garbage collection overhead
• → Power-up system with timed effects that give the player temporary physics advantages
• → Physics-based knockback using Unity Rigidbody forces for satisfying sumo-style collisions
• → Score and combo tracking system with persistent high-score storage

Rollerball Rampage taught me the most about writing clean, reusable C# systems. Implementing object pooling for the first time had a real measurable impact on performance — frame drops disappeared once I stopped instantiating enemies on every spawn. The enemy AI using vector math was also a turning point in how I think about movement systems.
