Climb On
We designed and built our HTML5 browser game, Climb On, as part of GMTK 3-day game jam. The prompt was announced at the start as "built to scale." We interpreted scale as climbing and thought it could be fun to explore a vertical timed platformer around moving quickly while conserving your energy. We also decided to explore some unique moves like side scaling and wall leaps. We brought in the concept of "built" as the slang way of referring to muscular and played with how that may make you impervious to obstacles, but also how it would reduce your stamina.
