I am releasing my current as is engine that I have ben working on in java. It uses LWJGL for the graphics.  The master branch is the engine as of now(Commit 2).

https://github.com/Penagwin/GameEngineP

You can play the game here.

My (crazy) attempt at multiplayer.  The physics actually work, try knocking a glass onto the ground! You move with WASD and Q and E to change props. The multiplayer works** but there isn’t object syncing, so both people need to refresh the page at the same time to see the same objects move. I really just needed more time, but of course that is hard to get.

 

I learned a TON from this game (namely that multiplayer is more complicated then just 2 hours to make), the phaser engine can be utter crap at times (more on this later), the less poly’s on collision boxes the better for particles, and a ton of other things! Incredibly fun and I’ll be back for the next competition!

You can play it in the browser: Small Among Storms

That was an intense 72 hours but we did it :smile:

Better seek shelter if you sense danger...

There's been a ton of great submissions and there's a few I think really deserve hitting the 20 ratings threshold! Most of these are relatively bite sized and polished.

They're all playable in browser too!

Signal Machine

A fun and quirky bite sized game. There's just a few puzzles and it's a really well packaged game for a game jam.

---

MISSION 404

A fun and simple rhythm game. Short but nice and polished.

---

I Must Scream

Interesting graphics, a little bizarre but fun gameplay.

We would still greatly appreciate any feedback you have with our update!

Water and Swimming Improvements

Water has been completely reworked. Both the water and lilypads now have physics. Swimming has also been completely reworked to make it more intuitive and fun, complete with new sound effects.

The water is also more dangerous in general now. Watch out!

We also have some new lightning effects.

Fish have been reworked to make them visually cleaner and make it more clear when the player has died to them.

Thank you for the water and swimming feedback: @raine17 @nidoprince @mr-flower @belten @graf @jynxaudio

Acorns and Keys now Persist Across Deaths

Acorns and keys now persist across deaths and levels.

Platforming Updates

We now have coyote time! This should make platforming more forgiving. We still have more improvements planned as well.

Thanks for your platforming feedback: @sharky3188 @olddog @skeyven @juutis @shimiki @steinhks @reed-molbak @hoeleboele @astroaceone @awwwz @luka420 @abiral @strega @tomssuli @maxededo @the-big-lost @saering @grummelchen @tomas-poblete @caer @zamizmi @dekisenpaitm @mcbaker @nabil-shelim @dvan1337 @rewzu @scrapmetal @juutis @tomssuli @brainoid @saering @purrseus

Owl and Lightning Updates

Standing in a log for 1 second now calls in the bird immediately, and the Owl no longer queues while you're in cover. These should both reduce the time you're waiting for the Owl to pass, and reduce the times you're being harassed by both the Owl and the lightning.

Thank you: @nyxkn @rise12600 @oxnh @mekuire @ray-muffincat @agent-p @lllarso @martinfernandezgd @titos2k @killthealias @kanhao @shadow64 @ansible @asieke @coderaurus @ao-85 @picttarge @grummelchen @mcbaker

Space and W are now jump by default

You can now use w and space to jump by default on keyboard and mouse

Thank you to: @dywanix @korzhik @fabelay @scottyartt

Key Binding Options

You can now rebind your keys in the options menu

Thanks @dennis
