Project Overview

GMTK is an annual game making marathon where participants try to make a game centered on a specific theme. This year's theme was loop ∞

I built a team of 10, scattered all over the world--New York, Russia, Turkey, Puerto Rico, etc...

where each of us brought a different set of skills and interests to develop this 2D platformer game in 4 days.
