you heard it here first, people, i’m attempting my very own unofficial game jam! anyone can join in, you can start whenever you want, as long as you get your game out and published by the deadline! you can submit your game early as well, but if you submit it late, i probably won’t play it. that being said, onto the information!
theme: movement - try and give your game’s character a fun, engaging movement system, as well as levels that play into it.
deadline: may 31st
rules: your game must be a 2D platformer, have some kind of unique movement technique/moveset, and it must have a start & end.
happy coding, and stay creative, brainiacs!

Fine, I’ll let it slide, but only because of your dedication to making an entire rendering engine

my game is getting there, I’m just making my character probably the most complex player character than all of the makecode arcades in existence lol, and my character was already kinda uncontrollable at the beginning lol
i hade to stop a little cuz my game broke due to a stupid, almost non-existant bug that pauses the game every 3 seconds, but it’s fixed so I can finally make progess yay.
also don’t expect a tutorial for my character for like a week or 10 days after the new update release, you’ll gonna have to figure yourself our the controls.

You were just a couple days too late, sorry. You can start on a new game, but you can’t submit a game you’ve been working on since before the jam started.
