Game over!

... With one silly little goober game finished.

Screenshotem20241007/em193627.png

It's quite crude and doesn't offer much in a sense of gameplay, but it has little goobers running around. It started as a challenge and a non serious attempt to see where I could get if I started making a game from scratch with C++ and OpenGL and no pre-built engines or frameworks, and I managed to finish something which is a nice bonus.

The game idea kind of grew organically during the process from a vague idea of a game where you'd lead ants by planting pheromones on the ground, to a game of nondescript little goobers kind of swimming around after delicious goop and being chased by a big bad goober. I didn't have time to implement any scoring though, but feel free to use a timer to see how long you can keep the goobers alive!

Join the squad and find that beetle! 🏝️ Start your adventure now!

Our dice-based roguelite is ready, and we started it on paper (literally!)

Phew, it's been a busy weekend, but you can play our game now! We've decided to make all music and assets ourselves...

...and it all started on paper, with a pencil and a pen for lineart! Then, we colored the assets digitally to look like above.

Let us know how you enjoy our cheesy lil' game!

This retro madness is about putting your kids to bed.

Another jam done! Our team explored with retro aesthetics this time, with pre-rendered cutscenes and vertex snappy goodness. We tried making a HTML build, but sadly couldn't get it to work (next time). Looking forward to see LD56 submissions!
