Nominated for Best Alt.Ctrl Game at GDC 2023
This game started as an Alternate Controller project for a Game Jam. It then turned into a passion project developed with a small team for Alt Ctrl GDC 2023. This project was accepted into Alt Ctrl and was nominated for the best Alt Ctrl game of the year at GDC.
My Contribution: Lead Game Designer
The main objective of the design was to figure out a motion that instantly felt satisfying to do with the alternate controller. A chop and a stomp both had the same motion, but were different enough to be differentiated so the player won't get confused when the game begins to speed up.
The design of the object were the different combinations of chopping and stomping. Using visuals to queue to the player which order to do which action.
At GDC, our game became a hit, many players enjoyed the arcade inspiration for a simple, yet fun experience.
We offered sticky notes if any of our players wanted to draw something, give feedback or simply say something, fun. By the end of GDC, this is what our booth looked like:
