Do you spend most of your time grinding away at your day job?
Now’s your chance to fight the man! Put down those pens and sticky notes, close that excel sheet, and hang up the phone; It’s time to leave behind the grind mind! This jam is dedicated to those who are short on time, whether it’s from a 40+ hour work week, college classes, or anything preventing you from spending your entire day making games. Let this jam help you unwind and flex those creativity muscles!
The Big Bad Boss!
For this month’s jam use an unfavorable character, whether it’s your present or former boss, a family member, political figure, or anyone else. Create a one level minigame, where your main objective is to beat this boss in wits, battle, or any other way. Feel free to make it any genre - whatever fits your style!
Bonus Points
Spice up your game by adding three stages to this boss challenge which could be triggered by health, puzzle completion, or whatever else.
