Dangerous Jam JS

Concept :

In this game jam your goal is to create a survival game. Your only constraints are the game jam theme and your imagination.

To summarize, a survival game is a game where the player must survive as long as possible in some way. It can take many forms, but your game must include:

• A condition that ends the game

• An arcade scoring system that rewards survival or performance

The objective is to design a creative survival experience where players must constantly adapt to dangerous situations.

Theme :

The theme of the jam is : "Nothing is Safe"

In this world, everything can become dangerous.

Objects that should normally help the player may become threats. The environment itself may turn hostile, and survival means learning to deal with unpredictable dangers.

Be creative in how you interpret this theme!

Rules :

you game needs to be created using only javascript, html and css. you can either use javascript as is, or use one of thoes frameworks : 

• P5 js and all of it's plugin

Teams : 

To participate in the game jam, teams must consist of a maximum of 3 or 4 participants. It's up to you to choose the best development team to create the best project ;)

As with the other projects this year, you will need to give an oral presentation (including a presentation) which will be evaluated.

Submission :

You will need to provide a link to your GitHub repository containing your source code. You will also need to provide a link to your presentation (or simply push your presentation to your repository).

Submit your game in HTML5 format to itch.io: https://itch.io

You will also need to present your project to:

- Your competitors.

So give the best presentation possible, to blow them away and show them your game development skills.

Please note that you will need to present the main features of your project, the breakdown of tasks, and the challenges encountered. Your mentors may also ask you technical questions.
