So this was the first One Hour Game Jam I've participated in since I left Montreal. And while I came in 2 hours over the 1 hour mark, I'm quite pleased with the result.
The jam theme was "the floor is lava". And yes, I know my use of the theme wasn't particularly original. The main reason for going over the time limit was that difficulty balancing took longer than expected. I also wanted to get some audio in to signpost the direction of incoming fireballs (the game is much easier with headphones).
SCALD is a simple game. You must collect as many gems as you can and avoid incoming fireballs. Also: don't fall into the lava :)
You can play it here.
I've had a little feedback so far which I plan to respond to in the coming days.
Thanks again!
