Hey all,
Last week I posted about a game called AMBEX. I said I'd made it in a couple of hours based on some suggestions of words on Twitter. I did it again this weekend and made NOSE AND TAIL, a five-level puzzle platformer in about three hours. The source and art are public domain on GitHub, but you'll need LibGDX and flixel-android to compile it. More on the site itself.

This time I asked for two careers, a noun and an emotion. They were a little loosely inspired this time but it still works. I had a basic idea (asking for two careers because I wanted to make a game about swapping between characters) but the randomness of the suggested words gave me new ideas (like swapping costumes at particular boxes, which would've been action figure boxes could I actually draw).
I really like the idea of asking for four specific words and then making a game in one sitting (or a short period of time). It's more flexible than a group jam, and the short time periods mean you focus on making
anything - which is teaching me a lot, like what code I use the most, what things I've never tried before, and so on.
Instead of creating a thread for every game I make, I'll edit this one and put a new post in. I hope to do more of these in the future. All feedback appreciated!
