Roots – Global Game Jam 2023
During the Global Game Jam 2023 my game "Roots" was created. The development took place from 02/03/2013 (5pm) to 02/05/2013 (8pm), so within about 2 days. Since I could not participate in an onsite group, I developed the game alone. The theme of the game jam was "Roots." The obvious idea was to create a game about the roots of plants. However, since I like to think differently, I came up with the idea of creating a game about mathematical roots. I found the shape of these roots particularly interesting, as they reminded me of a slingshot. This is how the basic idea for my game was born. As a visual design, I felt that the appearance of a blackboard was very appropriate.
The task of the game is to catapult a ball from root to root. It depends on the right strength of the shot and the correct launch angle. Unfortunately, there is a bug where the ball can get stuck in the root. If this happens, please restart the level by pressing the reset button in the upper left corner. Have fun playing!
