I got a pretty good old school game vibe from VIRUS_EXE. There were some edge cases of invaders moving from offscreen directly on top of me and shooting that I couldn't avoid, but apart from that the game ran with no hitches!
I didn't particularly like the need to restart the level from the beginning (keeping track of all the correct movements or waiting for parts to align), but some of the puzzles were pretty good.
The first three days saw us staring a new idea. We couldn't figure what would be fun with the given jam topic. After working for several hours on an idea the result was always lacking fun.
Then we came up with the idea that was easy to test and turned out to be quite fun - WASD Corp. relies on you going through easy platforming challenges with your control scheme jumbled. Sometimes up is left, sometimes it is not. We stuck with that idea and submitted it something like 40 minutes before the deadline.
Overall we're satisifed with the result and even wonder what can we do with the idea if we spend more time on it.
The game is a seemingly simple platformer that has you adapt to new input controls constantly and that way keeping the basic navigation challenging and fun.
