Saplink
Saplink is a 2D side scrolling puzzle game created by the Maryville Game Developers Club for the Global Game Jam that was hosted in late January and early February of 2023. The theme that was announced was "Roots." I mainly focused on level design and a few visual assets.
The game is about a small plant like creature named Seedboi that is controlled by the player. They can set their roots into other plants to take control of them, such as moving vines or flipping over lily pads. Their main objective is to reach the lab that created them and destroy the larger plant that has taken over the earth.
