Game jam made for GBJam 11 together with Liv Cool
“Mom look what I made!”
Fredric has constructed a grand plan for a homemade rocket. All he needs now is some materials! But reaching all those high-up high-tech parts can be challenging, even as a brave little man … Can you help him build the most awesome rocket of ALL time???
This is a scavenger hunt game where you walk around Fredric's house and collect different materials to build your "rocket". Some items are unreachable due to Fredric's height, so the player needs to push objects around so they can jump on top and reach the higher items.
The game jam was 7 days long, but since me and Liv were still in high school at the time we only worked on it during the weekend. We focused on making a small wholesome experience over creating a crazy mechanic, since it was our first game jam project ever. We included the theme of space by making it our little man Fredric's goal to reach outer space with his rocket ship. Furthermore, we made him explore the different ‘spaces’ of his house in search of materials.
It was my first time doing pixel art animation and making pixel art environments, so it was a great learning experience in that area. My love for pixel art has only grown since then.
For the voice lines I recruited my little brother! He loved being a part of the project and all the players thought it was super cute. I never knew how hard making nice audio recordings was before this project! Lots to learn! I even took a crack at making some background music with the site BeepBox! It was fun to try out but to make something nice I would need some more guidance for sure.
My roles in this project :
- Game designer
- Lead artist (all sprites)
- (music & sound design)
This was the first game jam I ever participated in! Certainly an amazing experience.
