usually I run ranked, so I was surprised to have a full day extra for some polish. :D

So hopefully I did everything right. I posted my game on itch.io and then linked that as a submission from Alakajam website.

Hope that's the wat to do it.

Please once you are done with your games consider playing it. Feedback welcome.

The only thing still missing is the theme :/

I didn't have much time, but I managed to get this done in < 8 hours. I just have to do the audio now.

I'm pretty proud of the game design for once. I finally made "not a platformer" (while still making a platformer).

I needed simple box collision today, happy with the result and definitely reusable for the future :)

tons of bugfixes and code adjustments today, only spent a short time on visuals. But with the things I've implemented I can definitely start adding more interesting stuff. It's always a bit of a challenge to have object-oriented code in PICO, but it's helping a lot to know I can spawn enemies, bullets and boundaries over the same system and as often as the engine allows me to.

Very literal connections going on here. I think this may be my most on-theme entry so far.

Been my first GameJam ever I tried to go with something easy and that would make me feel more comfortable, so I opted for using Phaser 3 as a framework.
Javascript is a language that I feel comfortable with, and well, actually I'm using Typescript, because of some tutorial I follow and to have better intellisense and errors highlight. While this made things a bit slower, I'm getting there.

I wasn't particulary happy with the theme, but to be honest, none of the 10 final themes inspired me too much.

I'm making a simple Pipes game, I know, nothing original, nothing new and very simplistic. But for a Solo Dev and first Jam I though it's better to have something that drop and give up.

Hopefully I can continue with some features that are needed, and creating different levels tomorrow. Maybe even redo some graphics.

Trying to extend my pico scripts a bit more to do something more action-based.

So far:

• Main character
• Movement
• Shooting
• Movement while shooting

My current thematic vision is having the players reach cellphones to make calls to rescue people. Might change, I'll go to environment generation next. :)

For this Alakajam I am focused on creating a Cutscene Editor tool for my framework; Turtle Brains. It will be a fully featured editor with undo/redo and the ability to manipulate time and space for the sprites and objects that build a cutscene. With this tool I plan to make a very small game from cutscenes I create while testing.
