Climate Jam Reduce Reuse Recycle's itch.io page

Artistic Statement / Use of Theme
The main playable character is a green goop trash collector from the hollow earth who is helping clear the planet of trash and radioactive enemies that are trying to stop you from doing so. This forces you to plant the seed, a projectile that shoots out and destroys environmentally unfriendly enemies. I tried to make this game as fun and enjoyable as possible given the time frame.

Development Summary
I had to step up in the game development of this project mainly because a group member dropped out of class around July 4th, and my other teammate had track practice, was in class for an hour, and then had to go. With that said, I had to plan the main construction of the game and place assets and scripts on the correct sprites. Along with tile maps, I had the player shoot projectiles that damage enemies and stop on the tilemap, then have the enemy destroy the player and send them back to the start on collision with the player. This had bugs, like the tilemap and the player getting stuck when jumping, and I fixed them all with the help of my great teachers and by going step by step through the development process. I also have a dev log for the game on the page.

(optional) Release Plan
This is just a Free Game for the public now, like others, and my 6th video game portfolio project for myself.

(optional) Further Development Plan
This is it a simple first level to show that the game is environmentally Friendly and fun for players.

Short but sweet. I've played so many slime jam games in my day. Controls were smooth. Just needs a little more meat on the bone to be compelling!

Developer

Thanks for the great feedback. It means a lot, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This was good mechanically -- narratively, I had no idea what was going on. Thanks for making!

Developer

Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed the game. I will have more dialogue in future games with a longer time frame.

I like the idea of a side scroller platformer that teaches about the benefits and outcomes of recycling, I just wish there was more dialogue explaining what was happening as I assume I was helping clean up the planet. Maybe some more player feedback would help sell the concept.

Developer

I really appreciate the feedback and how you think the game could be better. I will have better dialogue descriptions in future games, with more help from teammates or more time for myself to step up and give the game more time to fully develop.
