Hi! We’re a team of five game design students from Houston, Texas. LD35 was the first game jam any of us participated in, and it was a lot of fun!  Our game is called ‘Gene Goes to the Zoo’. In it, you play as a hungry alien visitor to Earth named Gene. You’ve got to navigate environments full of escaped zoo animals – skunks, rhinoceroses, tigers, and more! Gene’s best weapon is his appetite- by eating the animals, he absorbs their DNA and can obtain their abilities! Not only that, by combining the DNA, the player can unlock new special abilities! What happens when you combine the high-flying nature of a bird with the deadly pounce of a tiger? See for yourself!
