It Shouldn't Do That: Game Jam Roundup!

Can you believe that the Game Jam is already over? It feels like just yesterday we were seeing General Nuisance being beset by bugs (and a mischievous little zonebot!) 

Our Game Jam ending does have one piece of good news though, our members have made some EXCELLENT games, and as much as I’d love to display all of them for you, we unfortunately only have time for 5 of our favourites! 

1. PROTECT THAT ROCKET by Jan 

In this fun take on our base game we see a rocket having to survive an onslaught of rocks while charging its thrusters for take off! I’m a huge fan of the little animation of the rocket taking off once you reach the time limit!

2. It Shouldn’t Do That by Jona 

This game sees a world split in half, with different items falling on either side, our controls are also reversed! Left is Right and Right is Left! We’re a big fan of the graphics in this game, and we always enjoy a game with a bit of background music!

3. It Shouldn’t Do That by Abigail 

Here we see the age old classic flappy bird, but wait! Going through the middle of the pipes causes our bird to crash and going through the pipes gives us points? It shouldn’t do that!! We love the creativity to take a well established game and flip it on its head like that!

4. General Nuisance’s Adventure by Eliseus 

If you’ve seen the video for our game jam you might recall a certain orange cube playing havoc and creating a crazy zonebot inspired game, Eliseus decided it would be fun to recreate that “game” leading to crazy times seen here!

5. Jooper's not me doing it by Alex 

This game flips things on their head, literally. The dinosaur is on the ceiling trying to catch rising rocks and avoiding coins rushing up towards them! The addition of lives makes this game a little more forgiving than some, but the upside down nature makes it feel really tricky!  

Wow! What incredible games we’ve seen from our members this time round! If you want to see more you can find ALL of our amazing game jam games over on our game jam tab on your dashboard, and worry not if your particular game wasn’t shown off this time, it was so tough to choose between them all and maybe it will be yours shown next time!
