Scope: 48hr Global Game Jam entry. 1 programmers, 2 artists.

My Role: Programming, Technical Art, Audio.

Engine: Unity

Taking a break from 3D and 2D digital tools, we decided to hand-draw everything, scan it and cut out the result for our in-game sprites.

The rules are fairly simple, a demon has played a tune to you and you can break his tune by responding to the glyphs found in each stage. Your character auto-moves in the current direction which the player decides. Move, dash, jump, slam and slider your way through each stage with a combination of touch gestures.

We restricted ourselves in 2 ways. The first is that all assets must be hand-drawn and scanned in. 

The second was for a diversifier in the GameJam which was that all sounds came from a single instrument. Ran with the guitar, there was a sort of ambient track I pieced together for the Start Screen, and a more energetic track for the gameplay. This was hugely challenging as I'm not a very well practiced guitarist but had a rough idea of what I wanted, and I also had no idea what I was doing with recording, so the quality is quite lo-fi.

We also made sure that any and all effects were hand-drawn.

And also the UI :)
