I am working on a game for a game jam. Said jam is already accepting submissions and will stay open until January 6th 2021 at 5:59 PM. I plan to spend less than 6 hours working on the game and start off making it a small playable game and 'gift' that I can expand into a larger game. Currently, I just call the game 'My project6'.
The game has three green crosses for the person's health.
You lose health by touching hazards such as the green 'viruses' in the game world:
You grab a backpack to gain the ability to collect other objects.
In this platformer, you can go through certain doors, but others require items or 'keys' to open:
The controls are pretty simple. Use the arrow keys to move (left to move left, up key to jump, etc.) and press 'E' with the backpack to grab/equip items. I have also made a simple game over sprite for when you run out of health:
I also started working on a basic button on the Title Screen that takes you to the main game"
Currently, one possible working title I have is 'Ounce of Prevention':
This is hour 1 for the game. Stay tuned!
