Gift Jam 2020 Game Log #0 (My project6)

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'. https://itch.io/jam/gift-jam-2020

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!
