rebel rabbit, that's a great game jam effort! Very well done!

Late reply - but I ended up going into the GGJ solo for the first time to challenge myself - I wanted to see how many games I could make! Result was 4 games. They all support 2-8 players. It was fun presenting it, I hooked up 8 NES and SNES replica controllers and got a lot of audience participation.

The four games are Bananacontra, Ultimate Cat Drift, Comet Bumpers, and 'untitled secret tactics game'.

The graphics are rushed and anything but polished, but I decided to focus on quantity over quality this year. Still, I reckon it can be a lot of fun if you have a lot of controllers and friends lying around..

So, the idea is such: imagine a water sufrace. When you drop a pebble into it, the waves start spreading from the centre. Now let's look at this process from the opposite side: where should you drop the pebble to create the waves of particular shape? Taking into account that the waves reflect from the walls of the basin, this can be a very interesting question.

Wow, that's a fantastic idea General!

Me and my brother went solo this year and we were also volunteers to organizing our jam site. We were asked to do a multiplayer game so we could giveaway some keys to the winners.

It's a multiplayer physics based party game where you have to surf the blocks as they come and you can shoot other people to blow them away. It's a bit fun with four players.

Our goal was to make a "finished" game with as much polish as possible. It turned out quite good to our standards, though barebones as any GGJ game would be. I have no idea what I was thinking with the name and background aesthetic but I ended up liking the bizarre look of the game tbh.

I'm also a little late to the party, but wanted to share my GGJ17 project. For the past couple years I've been going to the downtown Orlando GGJ site. There was a group of people that I collaborated with for 2015 & 2016, but none of them could make it this year so I went solo on a game.

Thus, Super Wave Fitter for the HTC Vive was born:




If you'd like to download and play (HTC Vive required) you can find the exe at the bottom of this page:

The game is based off of the Japanese game show "Brain Wall" where contestants have to fit into silly shapes that move towards them. I thought the Vive would be a good medium to replicate that experience. There was only enough time to make about 8 shapes, and 0 time to come up with a good name, haha.

I've been working on it since the game jam (mostly under-the-hood coding so far), but hopefully will start up a devlog post when I have more compelling stuff to share.

Thanks for checking it out!

Awesome work and games guys!!
I can't show anything, this year I was a "mentor".

But so excited that GGJ is a thing now

Microwave Fighter X: A Game About Fighting With Waves.

Jump and double jump to create massive waves of stuff and hit the other player to knock them out of the level.
