Is it a bad idea to make a game with levels for a jam?

I have a feeling that very few people will make it even half way through a level-progression type of game. I recently played through another level-based game that was extremely well done, only to find that only 2 other people have completed it besides myself from the leaderboards. And let's be honest, there's going to be hardly any more traffic 3 days after the jam ends.

Based on feedback on my game, it seems like very few people even made it half-way (5 levels, around 10-15 minutes to beat). This leads me to think it will be much better to just have an "arena" type of game where you can explore and progress within one area, maybe competing for a high score, without any levels or different environments.

What are your thoughts on this?

How it all started

wersdfsdfGIF.gif The first test was a ground breaking success.

Yet it was a bumpy road to the build submitted close to the jam upload deadline.

However, I managed to get quite a lot of features in there: - Instancing of the player - Arm controls with mouse and keyboard - Selfs replicating by combining broken pieces - Items: Gun and Shield for any of yourselfs to pick up and use - A enemy monster with basic movement - Fireballs that you have to dodge with all yourselfs - Timed bombs that any of yourselfs can grab and throw in the hole or at the enemy

Track Day - 10 laps in 40s is now the time to beat!

It's very satisfying to have people surpass what you thought was possible in your own game! I am nowhere near this good - I'm more than happy to get under 1m15s!

Think you can do better? Let me know how you do! WebGL build now fully functional!

Stuck in the Luntik

Hello there! We've uploaded some screenshots to our game's page for those who didn't manage to find some beautiful (in our opinion) items throughout the maze. Good luck! :smiley_cat:

What goes on behind the tentacle?

Heres a little sneak peak at behind the scenes of how we built some physics based tentacles under time pressure for out game Sushi Ink

how the tentacool works.png

We also worked on some in editor tools to help us quickly generate tentacles of different lengths (which is what makes level 2 so much harder than 1).

You can see i built the tool late on day one when the delirium had set in!
