I recently started an itch.io account (follow me: https://todorrobot.itch.io/) and discovered tons of game jams going on over there! I got so excited that I signed up for three jams at once and decided to make one game that would fit the requirements for all three.
Here are the stipulations:
The Friday Night Game Jam:
Requirements: Build it in three hours. Theme: TREES
Mix & Game Jam:
Requirements: Theme: Mix 2 Game Genres. (Squirrel = RETRO and INFINITE RUNNER)
Mini Jam 67:
Requirements: No enemies. Theme: Void
The other jams had longer time limits, but the “Friday” game jam had the shortest time and all three ended today, so I woke up early this morning and knocked out a game in three hours. It ain’t much, but I got it in under the deadline and it mostly works
Thanks @todorrobot i have one thing to say on you squirrel game could you. The background had parallax so the tress look a bit weird. I dont know if you meant to add that or not. Just thought i tell you
Yeah, the trees are definitely weird. But with a 3 hour time limit, there’s no time to go back and clean stuff up – especially after I spent way too long animating the squirrel haha!
I might go back and finish it up at some point, but then again, I might not.
Yeah no problem it’s a very nice game for just 3 hours. The animation is amazing and i love the retro feel to it by just having 1 color on each sprite. I tried to play your other game the stink bugs from hell game but since I’m on an iPad i guess the game is to big for it so it did not load, very sad but keep up the amazing work @todorrobot
There’s a tricky little song and dance you have to do with a .txt file and your embed code. Then switch it to an .html file and zip it up and upload it to itch. @JR01 helped me out witha set of instructions and a file I could copy paste into. Perhaps he can provide the same for you.
but keep up the amazing work
