As our immediate post-jam low subsided, we are finally able to present to you our fourth game jam entry: Hoverfield Park - Beat Haven

and rate your games as well 😉

It turned out as more of a proof of concept for a rpg with minigames, as playing the guitar rhythm game is the only fun thing to do as of now. But we are planning to turn this game into a full-blown rpg with multiple zones, character customization, different minigames, gaining exp, leveling up and all these kind of elements! This is why we would appreciate it, if you would let us now what you think about the game mechanics and design so far and how it performs on you mobile devices.

Regarding the theme we ended up loosly combining the ideas of a rpg with a rhythm minigame. On a music-level, we contrasted the calming ambient sound of the overworld with the guitar metal track in the rhythm game.

This marks the fourth time we participated in the ludum dare game jam and ironically this time we were "only" four people working on the game opposed to nine team members last time 😅 But more about that in our post-mortem. *One of us, Hybitous, even made a video documentary about our experience with LD40, check it out ! *
