Development
This game was made for the GMTK 2023 Game Jam!
It scored top 20% overall where I collaborated with some friends to help me complete this game in only 48 hours! The theme for the Jam was "Roles Reversed" so we thought to make a reversal of the phrase "the early bird gets the worm". We wanted to make a small adventure game where the play goes on a short quest to save their friend from a bird. It uses basic platforming mechanics with small additions for more skilled gameplay. The main mechanic is using the recoil from the shotgun to launch the player to places they could not originally reach to try and make it to the friend and fight the boss at the end!
