🌌 Cosmic Curation

Cosmic Curation is a fast-paced Unity game built around the concept of object pooling for optimal performance. As a player, you must collect mysterious cosmic artifacts while dodging or destroying incoming enemy spaceships. Designed as part of a modular systems training module, the project highlights memory-efficient spawning and reuse of game objects.
