About

I've always enjoyed typing games, and when thinking of a game that could be played and replayed in 20 second intervals for this jam, this is what came to mind! Although this game has been finished for well over a year, I've only remembered to upload it just now in 2024 😅 Enjoy!

Controls

Astrotype takes a somewhat non-conventional approach to controls- all controls in this game are executed by simply typing words, and is explained in the cartridge!

Sprout is a short platformer I made for Jame Game 29 that won first place!

About

The theme of the jam was falling and the required special object was bean. In Sprout, the protagonist falls down into the earth and must use his magic beans to traverse the depths until he reaches the core. He may also collect some optional core pieces along the way!

It was made in 3 days so it's far from perfect; There are a couple of bugs that never got ironed out and things that should be polished or changed, but oh well, that's how jams go!

This is a little game I made for the 2022 Github Game Off Jam, forgot to post it anywhere other than itch!
Here's the itch page as well https://alexhlocke.itch.io/busybee
It's a pretty simple little high score based game, I didn't have too much time to do anything too crazy. I think the game was made in under a day, but honestly I don't really remember haha. Enjoy!
