PlantaFormer
PlantaForm was a project developed in the global game jam 2023 organized by ETIC_Algarve.
This project was made by a small team in a 2 week global game jam, in this game you play as a little seedling that wants to collect enough water to be able to sprout into a gorgeous flower, but for that you'll need to fight enemies and create PlantaForms using your water to get to your destination.
Your water is your health and you use it to create your platforms so you need to strategize and use the 4 platforms at your disposal to find a way to reach the end of the level.
Our team was composed of;
Game Producer
- João Silva
Programmers:
- André Dias
- Miguel Lampreia
- Pedro Neves
Art:
- Diogo Martins
- Tomás Cavaco
- Najva Abbasi
Sound Design:
- Miguel Cavaco
In this project I was responsible for the main mechanic of creating the platforms, so I made a build mode where the player can enter or leave at any given time and a switch button to be able to cycle through placeable platforms.
To increase the challenge, we made restrictions for each platform; for example, some platforms can only be placed on the ground, some can only be placed on walls, and we mixed and matched those two conditions to create unique requirements.
We ended up winning the prize for "Best Mechanic" that weekend.
