A Plink Through Time

Run from the DUSK KING in a post-apocalyptic world as PLINK, a small hero in this desolate wasteland, and clear obstacles with the help of your ancestor, JOAN, a regular laid-back woman living in modern times.

This idea stemmed from the prompt Next-Gen as Plink is living in the next generation, a generation which fell into ruin.

Managing, implementing and stitching together this project like I was Frankenstein was a really fun experience and one which I've learnt a lot from too. Hoping to do another Jam like this soon!

We wanted the art direction to line up with the general vibe of the game's setting as much as possible whilst also not murdering the wrists of our solo artist (me, the guy writing this. hello!! :D) which had us landing at an imperfect crusty kind of look. The background tiles aren't clean and the sprites have inconsistent line art. Where we couldn't have perfection, we added personality.
The sliced off corners are all part of the style after all!

The experience I've gained from this jam is exponential and I've had a lot of fun working on this project!! Watching tens of tutorials, patching together my own code, working out all the issues, and seeing my code come together and work just as I intended was immensely satisfying, can't wait to participate in more game jams to come!!!

We might work more on this game in future but for now, it's a single level :]
