A few weeks ago I put together a bartop cabinet with Armbian to play homebrew arcade games. When looking for an engine that was easy to learn and resource efficient I came across Ebitengine. Coincidentally this was right in time for their annual game jam!

I tried to rely on early arcade motifs to make a game that is technically easy to play but quite difficult to execute on and demanding a bit of perfection. A construction hell platformer I suppose.

I tried to put together the elements of a complete game in time for the jam deadline. I feel this was pretty successful. For an actual physical release I'll spend time on more rhythmically constructed movement patterns. I had to rely on a bit of designed patterns and a bit of repetitive shuffled patterns to pad out the game play. The Friday stage should be unbeatable as released. If you do manage somehow you're a better player than I'll ever be.

The bartop cab has a 2p control panel so I'd like a 2 player mode that isn't a simple split screen survival.

Thanks for playing and checkout Ebitengine! It's a great package I enjoyed working with.
