Racoon Rumble
Racoon Rumble is a 3D tank racing game built in Unity for mobile platforms. Players race across stylized tracks while using powerups and abilities to gain an advantage over opponents. The project focused on responsive vehicle controls, scalable race systems, and performance optimization for mobile devices.
Problem
Combat racing games must balance vehicle handling, race logic, and powerup mechanics while maintaining smooth performance on mobile devices. The challenge was building a gameplay framework that supports multiple racers, lap systems, and combat interactions without impacting responsiveness.
Constraints
- Full gameplay implementation in Unity based on a predefined design concept
- Vehicle controls needed to remain responsive on touch-based devices
- Race systems had to support multiple racers and lap tracking
- Mobile performance needed to remain stable despite physics interactions and effects
