Game Jam
Save The Egg is a browser-based video game developed for Insanity Jam #1 under the theme "One Direction." Since I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to participate, I decided to work on my own in case I had to drop out.
This project allowed me to test my skills beyond programming, as I had to create every single asset of the game myself.
Through a fast prototyping process and simple art, I managed to develop a complete game within the jam's time limit.
As a result, Save The Egg was awarded the prize for Best Game of the Jam.
The game is available on itch.io and can be played in a browser on PC.
