Quantagled

This was my first game jam I have ever participated in. My goals were to gain some experience working with others since most of my projects were solo and to create a cool project that I wouldn't have created otherwise. Most people in our team were participating for the first time in a game jam, so I think we learned a lot out of it, especially regarding the management and communication aspect of things.

Theme

The theme was "Build to Scale". We brainstormed different ideas and settled on the main mechanics to be resizing boxes, with the boxes being entangled: a box A is entangled with box B, so when you shrink box A, box B will increase in size. We also decided on a platformer game since the main mechanics fit the genre best. The game concept and design was a team effort.

Story

Play as Dr Quark you try to find a way home after an experiment went wrong that put you into the quantum realm. You meet Tim the Tardigrade that helps you navigate through the unexplored different realms of quantum physics. Thankfully you have tool with you that allows you to shrink/expand entangled objects in the world. Find a way to navigate through the world while solving puzzles and avoiding enemies with your new friend Tim.

Challenges

At the time of the submission we discovered some bugs in the built. Unfortunatelly, it was too late to correct them and resubmit. After the winners were announced, I personally debugged the game and upload the new version.
