About
Created during a GameJam with strict restrictions:

• Theme: Fantasy vs Sci-Fi

• Target audience: Kids aged 3+

• Platform constraint: Must run on a low-capacity console

• Scope: Only a 2D platformer vertical slice allowed

• Requirement: A gameplay diagram had to be approved before coding

• Gameplay twist: The player starts with the ability to jump, but loses it mid-level and must adapt using a new locomotion system (grappling hook, jetpack, or climbing)

Built in just a few days, this prototype takes you from lush jungle to fiery volcano, blending magic and machinery in a light-hearted challenge of movement and adaptation.
