Day One

Creational Chaos
A browser game made in HTML5

Game Jam Day One!

So the theme for Brackeys Game Jam 2021.2 is "Let there be chaos"...


I immediately thought of a game with as many entities and effects as I could throw at the screen, in my usual attempt at creating a Jeff Minter like game.

My first day (not too bad given the hangover I was nursing...) I ended up with a 2D game that allows you to place organisms onto the play area, and attempt to combine them to generate as many organisms on screen within 30 seconds.

This is what I ended up with, you can place red or green organisms, and they will mate with each other and produce blue offspring.

As a concept, it worked, but the chaos was quite lacking...

I also got the game working on mobile as well, though I'm not too sure on compatibility with iPhones or different screen resolutions, it being my first attempt at a web GL game.
