Keep Rolling – # TriJam 244
Keep Rolling is Drentsoft Games’ entry to TriJam 244. The theme was… Keep Rolling.
TriJam is a game jam where contestants try to create a game in 3 hours or less. Each member in a team gets their own 3 hours. Only programming and asset creation and testing counts towards the 3 hours. Creating builds, the page or other administrative operations don’t count as part of the 3 hours.
I decided to make an homage to the classic Windows game Ski Free. The player has fallen down a ski slope and been enveloped in a snowball and a deadly yeti is chasing you down. As the player rolls the ball grows, offering protection against the yeti and obstacles, however each obstacle they hit will knock parts of the ball off.
In the end the game took about 5 hours to make. Overall I’m not too disappointed in the result though there is no progression and some of the controls are a little awkward. I have some ideas how to improve the game.
