This game was created in 48 hours for McGameJam 2025. This was my first time as a team lead for a game jam, and I definitely learned a lot. My focus was to create a relatively simple yet enjoyable game that our team could feasibly create under the time constraints. I designed the level and the mechanics, as well as directed and organized the team of artists and programmers.
