RebOOT - Global Game Jam 2023

For the Global Game Jam 2023, I teamed up with a friend to create RebOOT, a short puzzle game about freeing a ruined city from the grasp of a malicious computer virus compromising the sentient megaflora that makes up its central computer. The player traverses the city, searching for panels that open doors, pacify guard robots, and allow access to the final terminal at the root of the tree. Combining inspiration from a couple of different games, we tried to convey a lonely and desolate mood, but not one without hope. I contributed the level design, art direction, music composition, and some game design and programming. It was certainly a challenge, but I'm always excited to tackle a game jam, because the constraints push me to think and learn differently.
