> De-Bo is a turn-based casual strategy game for two players, that mixes up Battleship, and Chess with a bit of adventuring slapped on top. The name De-Bo comes from the Haitian word for two-sided.&#x20;

## Experience

The game is played on each side of 3 different boards, that the player units have to traverse through to win the game. There's an element of weight as units and items can exist on both sides of the same place, knock each other down and entrap.&#x20;

## Behind the Scenes

Made during my final year of university as part of the Personal Style unit the focus was more on the art and differentiation, rather than the gameplay itself. With that said I remember failing for a few nights trying to bring it to life.
