My picks from the 9th GM48

So every few months the lovely people over on /r/gamemaker have their GM48 game jam. If you don’t know what a game jam (judging for the food blogs following this blog you might think it goes on toast) it’s a competition to make a game from start to finish in just 48 hours. The theme for this game jam was “one minute”.

I made a game for but I’ll save the self promotion till the end. Firstly, here are my picks from this GM48!

 SHMUP the FUCK UP

This feels like you’re playing through a seizure but I love it. The neon colours, the pulsating music, and the constant flashing all come together to create an experience that is intense and unapologetic. The game only lasts one minute but I could never make it to the end.

Bacon Game Jam: The Magic RAINBOW Man!

 

So Bacon Game Jam was last weekend, I only had the Sunday free to work on it but I decided to see what I could come up with. The theme was Rainbows, my idea is a simple platformer but as you progress the rooms change colour and your jumping abilities change. I could use a bit of tweaking but I’m very happy with the result, check it out on the Bacon Jam Website!

Crappy Old Games 2: Rainbow Cave

Welcome to part 2 of my 4 or 5 part (depending on if I can get my first game working again) series looking back on the game I’ve made in the past.

This time, Rainbow Cave!

crappy old games 1 – ZERO.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be going through my catalog of games I’ve made in the past. I’m trying to go in chronological order but but as it turns out my very first game is to poop to run. So we start with number two, I present “ZERO.”. That wasn’t a typo, I meant to put two full stops in a row. The name is actually “ZERO.” as in zero point, as in it’s pointless, get it? It’s an awful awful pun that I came up with at 2 or 3 in the morning after ten hours of coding.

Dev Log: Oneday – day one

This is the game I’m currently working on. Its not actually my first day working on it but it is my first post about it and I wanted to be able to do that fun bit of word play.
