Story Behind

It was a 24 hours event which participants form a maximum team of 4, and create a retro-based game within 24 hours with the given theme. In this year's theme, it is called friendship.

​

I lead a team of 4 including myself which consist of 3 programmers and 1 artist.

We worked tirelessly round the clock when the gamejam begin, and each of us have only slept for at most 3 hours! The encounter rate of bugs is high as we are constantly rushing to get all the features out.

​

Despite all the obstacles, we brave through the storm and we did it before 24 hours with the help of GameMaker Studio which has most of the in-built features ready and we programmers can focus much more on the game-play and User Interface. 

​

So we have created a 2D retro play style of puzzle game which we called it Tomodachi (Friend in Japanese). 

The basic game-play is there are 2 friends who have to escape from the puzzle and they could only mirror each other's movement.

We won the audience choice award for it!
