Great animations and art style!
Awesome music, voiceover, and sfx!
Hi! Thanks for the kind and fair review and thanks for playing as much as you did!
A few people bought hearts on the mobile version, so I'm about $90 away from the $100 goal LOL. Ah well, I have the project backed up with a few cool new mechanics and I am willing to go back and dust it off if I ever reach that threshold.
Thanks again, cheers!
Some MVPs from that list:
And all the Art/Sound stuff is great.
Remember to think tiny and make a 'complete' experience. Doesn't have to be an infinite dungeon crawler or a multiplayer hero shooter. (old) Arcade games are a great inspirational point for simple concepts.
-Programmer - Doesn't matter what language.
-Writer - esp for narrative games that use things like Twine or Ren'Py.
-Musician - For music and/or sfx. You can also find royalty free music most places.
-Artist - 2D, 3D, User Interface (buttons, frames, etc). An artist will make your nonsensical house of cards look like the Palace of Versailles.
-Project Manager - It takes a lot of work to keep everyone on task using a tool like Trello, Kanban, Codecks, etc. PMs also usually unblock problems for other team members (ex. I don't know what art program to use because I'm broke - PM find a good easy to use solution).
The theme is "Pop!"
The mechanical twist is "Game Over in 60 Seconds" The main playing of your game should not exceed one minute.
Please do not let this stop you from making a game. The theme is supposed to be a fun guide to get your brain doing backflips.
An example theme is "Waves". You could make a game with waves of enemies, or a game about surfing, or a game about communication via radio waves, etc etc etc.
An example of a Mechanical Twist is "One button". Your game must be playable by pressing only one button. Hilarious, right?
If you're looking for a teammate, don't be shy.
Post what you'd like to focus on for this jam and what skills you'd like to work with.
If you don't team up, no big deal! You should still make a game!
Ex.
Have: Programming (me), Project Management (me)
Want: Art, Sound
I have a game idea in mind so I'm going to make that but I'm willing to hear design ideas.
I recently reread "Mending Wall" and it inspired a small-scope multiplayer game.

Two players, one keyboard. Your hands may touch!
The free demo lasts four seasons. The full game is (theoretically) endless, though it might get really difficult later on.
Thanks for being a part of the Racial Justice Bundle!
I used some of your music in my VR game: https://eeease.itch.io/food-flinger-vr
Cheers!
Hi all,
I made a game yesterday instead of watching the Super Bowl. It's called The Longest Pass.
It hinges on surprise so I don't want to paste any pictures or videos, but it is a game about football and language.
It should only take a few minutes to play if you're good. My high score is 0:30
Enjoy!
Nice! My group made something similar during the Global Game Jam a few years ago: http://gnidan.org/terrorble_asent/
Each time one player picks up a glitch icon, it glitches the other player's controls in one of a few ways. Glitches can stack.
Hi all,
Over the Global Game Jam weekend, my groupmate and I made a game we think is pretty cool. In Upl0ad , you interact with the environment to help F1L3 reach his final destination, The Cloud.
We made this game because I wanted to experiment with using a piano keyboard as a controller and because Alex (@backsauce on itch) is very good at making delightful art. See images and gameplay example below.
Enjoy!
Note: I added computer keyboard controls after the jam. If playing with a MIDI keyboard, you'll probably have to set the octave to -1. Also, you'll have to resize the window to make it portrait. Sorry, Unity was being finicky with that!
Thanks for the recommendations and the thoughts on puzzle games! I'm downloading The Cube (from the makers of Rusty Lake Roots) and if I like it I'll definitely purchase RLR.
And since we're mentioning puzzle games we've made, I released Dee Dum on iOS, Android, Mac, PC, and Linux: https://eeease.itch.io/dee-dum
