For GMTK JAM 2024, I participated in a team of three with Paci and Zakku. Exceptionally this year the jam was four days long. I was the main programmer, with a little help from Paci the last two days as I had to work on monday and tuesday.
The concept of the game was fairly simple. Inspired by the jam theme "Built to scale" we decided to make a mix between Vampire Survivors and Katamari Damacy, where the player needs to eat the monsters all around to grow bigger and make enough point that they can feed themselves to the boss. They need to do so in time (2 minutes per round) otherwise it's game over.
Overall this was a really good experience, we ended up ranking 184th out of 7604, and we're pretty happy with the result.Many people enjoyed the game and it's always super cool to see people have fun with what you create :)
Rolling Food Chain has ranked 184 out of 7000+ for the #GMTK2024 jam with @hookariagames and @NamedZak. Got 60 ratings and 39 comments, thanks a lot to everyone that played the game :)
