I made a game for Jonas Tyroller's Wowie! Jam 3.0! Check it out: https://beamycat.itch.io/kamikargua


Hey everyone! I participated in a game jam 2 weekends ago where the theme was "Failure is Progress," so I decided to make a shoot 'em up where you can maximize your damage against the enemy fleet by purposefully running into bullets to EXPLODE!!!

The game won 12th place overall (That's the WOWIE! category) and placed top 100 in all categories out of 1000+ entries. This is the best I've performed in any game jam to this date, so I'm really proud of my work! I didn't spend as much time on this jam as I have on others, but I was still able to make a nice, well-polished game. My goal was to just create a short, simple game, and then spend time adding some pizzazz and polish to the visuals and sound. A lot of people commented how good the game feels to play since the explosions have just the right amount of screen shake and punch to their sound effects. My current roommate also helped me by creating the music for this game, so she definitely helped me in the sound category.

I kinda want to expand this game further by adding more levels, more enemies, and more content in general. There will even be a second bullet type that destroys your ship without making you explode, so you still have things to avoid while you're trying to run into the other bullets to explode. It's probably going to be a while if I ever decide to continue working on it, but if I do, I'll be posting my progress here on Game Jolt.

Anyway, I just wanted to show you what I've been working on. The current version I have posted on Itch is only one level long, so it's really short and sweet, but really fun to play. Check it out and tell me what you think!
