Game Jam – 2021 | Role – Solo Developer
The Woolly Walrus team’s entry to GMTK Game Jam 2021. The theme was ‘joined together’. We wanted to avoid the obvious tether, grapple or mirrored character options and generally try to avoid puzzle and level design in a jam. Our solution was a light strategy game that combines Tricky Towers and Angry Birds (but in reverse!). Given that we knew it was one of our more tame jam designs, we really pushed to see just how polished we could make a minute long experience. The result is Tumble Town!
- Fully animated menus?
- Animated enemies?
- Simple AIs that actually attack the player instead of random projectiles from offscreen?
- Win/loss states that quickly cycle into a new round?
- Randomized elements that add a hint of replayability?
- Support for multiple input methods
- A starting tutorial (maybe it shouldn’t have happened every round though)
If you want to try Tumble Town, it is available in the link below. Our final result was 195th out of nearly 6000 submissions.
