As many others, we've tied the 'Stuck in the loop' theme to rails and trains. In SPÅRVAGN the trams tracks overlap, which makes trams collide. You avoid crashes by stopping/launching the trams.

Here is roughly how the jam went on for us:

DAY 1. Working on a completely another idea was unsuccessful and took a whole first day of the jam. Two more days to go.

DAY 2. Trying next idea (the final one). Making models. Like, many models. Working on the shading system in Unity, specifically outline generation. Going out in the street to record traffic ambience and anything useful (bike rings) for sfx.

DAY 3. Models, shading, levels, UI. The last few hours - for sound. Working haphazardly, as it should be on the last day.

The models were built with the further shading in mind, like, suitable for outline rendering.

We've learned a bit about Blender freestyle, which was an amazing solution for generating this style of UI.

There are only four levels at the moment. There was simply no time left to make more. At least, they are working:)
