GRAND SNAIL PRIX

a Lorem Ipsum game

This game was created in 48 hours during the Game Maker’s Toolkit’s Game Jam 2018 event hosted by Mark Brown. The competition’s theme was “GENRE, but you can’t MECHANIC”.

Grand Snail Prix is a local 1v1 racing game without speed. Whithout this annoying mechanic, players will have more time to think which strategy should they follow to win the race and avoid obstacles.

Obstacles

Rock - 

Is a rock. You can’t go through it.

Leaf - 

You will need a few seconds to eat it all, but then your snail will recive a remarkable speed buff.

Popcorn - 

Your snail will also eat it if he is close enough. Although, this will make your snail move even slower.

Oil stain - 

Take care, the floor is slippery. If your snail walks into an oil stain, he will slide until he leaves it.

Shadow and shoe -  - 

Don’t stay under it! Someone is trying to step on you!

Tbh we are extremely surprised by the results, we're proud of what we've acomplished as this is our second Jam as a team (Obviously there's things we would've liked to improve but didn't have the time, like obstacle spawning). 

We asked friends and family to check the game out, but never thought it would have that big of an impact.  Now Mark will choose the game he likes the most from the top ones, so I guess things will even out because there are a lot of great games.

WoW!
