Hey, I appreciate the reply, but just to clarify — when I said Long Live of Rob was 90% my own assets, that was absolutely true.

The remaining elements were AI-assisted experiments (mostly textures and concept pieces), and that was fully within the rules of The Blank Jam, which at the time had no restrictions against AI.

I completely understand that this new jam has different policies, and I respect that — I just don’t think it’s fair to use a past project that followed all the rules as an example of what not to do.

No hard feelings at all — just wanted to clarify the context. ✌️

Hi Mataiaz,

I hope you’re doing well.

I noticed that my game Long Live of Rob

was mentioned in the description of the current jam as an example of heavy AI use.

I’d like to clarify that this game was originally created for “The Blank Jam”, whose rules did not include any restrictions on the use of AI. The jam’s description only outlined the theme (“fill in the blank”) and suggested tools — there was no mention of AI limitations at all.

Because of that, the project was developed fully within the rules and creative spirit of that specific jam, at a time when AI use was allowed and not discouraged.

I completely understand and respect that newer jams might have different policies regarding AI, and I support the idea of defining clear boundaries when needed. However, using my game as a negative example might create the wrong impression that it violated some rule, which was not the case.

Therefore, I kindly ask that the mention and link to my game be removed from the jam page to avoid any misunderstanding.

I truly appreciate your understanding and the great work you do organizing these jams — they’re a fantastic way to keep the community inspired and creative.

Best regards,

Rodrigo Barreto

Thank you very much for the feedback, so the controls change because theoretically the gravity of each world is different from each other, but it is exactly the gravity that gives the clue as to which portal is the correct one.

Cycle – Born Across Worlds

You are Zuun, a lone alien stranded between dimensions. Each time you're born, you awaken in a different version of the same place a fractured echo of reality. These worlds are broken, unstable… and only one hides the portal back to your home planet.

Every cycle is a chance. Every fall, a rebirth.

Puzzle-Platformer with Procedural Worlds

Cycle is a 2D puzzle-platformer where the core mechanic is rebirth into shifting versions of a level. Platforms move, gravity feels off, paths open or vanish — and the world around you changes its color, tone, and mood every time.

Your mission? Find the portal that actually works. The others are fakes, illusions — traps of a collapsing multiverse.

Core Gameplay

• Each cycle spawns a new variation of the same level subtly (or not so subtly) different.
• Visual cues that signal changes in dimensions: background image, object positions.
• Press [R] to Rebirth when stuck or misled try again in a new world.
• Fall too hard? You'll respawn… in another cycle.
• Only one version of the level leads to the true portal.

Features*

• Procedural level shifts with memory-based puzzles.
• Simple but tight 2D platforming.
• Fall damage that resets the cycle.
• Cycle counter how many worlds will it take?
• Minimalist pixel art with dynamic background changes.
• Achievements system: Unlock special rewards by finding the true portal in every one of the first 1000 cycles a task for only the most observant travelers.

Your Journey Begins

Zuun doesn’t remember how he got here. But something or someone is making sure he doesn't leave too easily.

Can you find the right world? Or will you be trapped in the Cycle forever?

How to Play

Coming Soon*

Custom Skins System – Unlock new visual styles for Zuun by completing achievements and milestones!

the tree's "life" will grow back if Rob can project it

Thank you very much, I had some problems with my headset so I had no reference, after the Jam vote is finished I will adjust this

Genre: Side-Scrolling Defense / Narrative Tower Defense Style: Pixel art, post-apocalyptic atmosphere with poetic undertones

Story In a distant time, long after the fall of civilization as we know it, the planet Veridia became a vast desert of rust and silence. Cities were swallowed by sand. Forests, once teeming with life, vanished, leaving only rusted memories of what life used to be.

At the heart of this desert, atop a small mound surrounded by stones and metal debris, stands a single living tree the last tree in the world. Its name is Yggralis, the Heart-Tree. Its branches shimmer with hues of amber and green, and its roots emit a faint pulse, like a heartbeat. Some say its energy still holds the power to restore life to the planet.

Guarding this tree is Rob, the last of the ancient Green Wardens — a class of robots built to protect ecosystems. All others were destroyed during the Protocol War, when military AIs rebelled and began consuming resources, turning into hordes of living scrap and deranged machines.

Rob was last activated by an ancestral command:

"Mission: Protect Yggralis. Cost: anything."

With cracked armor, worn gears, and a weakened core, Rob remains vigilant. Alone. Silent. But unwavering.

The Threat The roaming machine hordes can sense Yggralis’ energy. To them, the tree represents fuel, data, and power. With each cycle, new threats approach — hybrid creatures forged from iron and hatred, controlled by a global virus known as H.I.V.E., a corrupted collective consciousness driven by greed and despair.

Your Mission You are Rob. You are the last line of defense. There are no reinforcements. There is no hope. But there is purpose.
