Here’s my submission: > **[Red Robot the Game (demo version)](https://arcade.makecode.com/S45143-57821-92838-74802)** > > You’re a small red robot built to help the plants on this dying planet survive. All the other robots are long gone, yet you remain, faithfully following the protocol you were given. Is there more to life than simply being a machine that serves... This was a project I started around the beginning of the year. I had the idea for a small robot who helps the planet, kind of like WALL-e if you know what I’m talking about. The game fit perfect for this mini jam, but all it was at the time was just a little robot walking around the screen; no story at all to its name. I didn’t have enough time to make it a full-blown game, but I hope you guys enjoy playing the demo version of “Red Robot the game”! > **Instructions (spoilers ahead)** > > 1. Go to the plant on the right and hold “B” to scan the plant. > > 2. Once scanned, head for the left to find the bucket on the hill. > > 3. Once you have the bucket, go all the way right to reach the pond to collect water. > > 4. Head back to the plant and press “B” again to water the plant. Thank you! ---

Presenting… # 🤠 DUCKRUN!!! :duck: It is a very nostalgy (wait, is that a word?) game! You are a **duck** , **run** away from the hunter! ## Note: You must press Menu (or the “~” key) to “insert the quarter".” Ok…so here is the link!

You should try and use the [https://github.com/jwunderl/arcade-tilemap-a-star](https://github.com/jwunderl/arcade-tilemap-a-star) extension so the hunter doesn’t get stuck on the walls. This way he can find the best way to hunt you down! ---

The Involuntary Hike > **[The Invounaltary Hike](https://arcade.makecode.com/S94896-72071-98092-98124)** > > You're forced outside to do research for a game jam. Maybe the forest holds more than at first glance... In this game, I figured out how to make a different camera engine, making it so the camera would center slightly in front of the character.

Hey! Hey YOU! Yeah you! I found some games for you: This first game took me about the entire month to create, probably due to major procrastination lol Try and get all the endings!

The original second game I made actually had a huge bug in it that was very unfixable, so I made you this beauty of a game instead (which I must say is far better than the buggy one): > **[Scott And Peter](https://arcade.makecode.com/29580-41255-48741-07917)** > > A game about ants. Use A and D to move left and right and press A at the pizza to finish the game. Press Menu to skip dialogue. Enyoy 🧙‍♂️ ---

“Finished” my game The Diego series is _ **technically** _ back, but I had quite a few development set backs this month. I lost alot of time and ended up really only having a little over 2 work weeks to work on it. Either way, however, I put way too much effort it to just trash the full project so this is it. There quite a few unfinished graphics and the game engine was cut so it’s a highly bare bones. Won’t be around for awhile, have some things to figure out. (You’ll probably wanna watch the intro since it’s basically all i finished 💀 ) > **[WENDY: Bestest Ranger](https://arcade.makecode.com/72798-93583-73415-49817)** > > Wendy and friends find themselves stranded in a forest, now has to save the forest and her friends. _Hope you enjoy 👍_ (The game will prob be continued) ---
