The World Tortoise and the Hare (GameDev.tv Game Jam 2025)

UPDATE: A post-jam version of the game is available where I took some of the player feedback and made some changes like a randomized path for each playthrough. If you are interested, you can find it here:https://waijee.itch.io/the-world-tortoise-and-the-hare-championship-editionGame submission for GameDev.tv Game Jam 2025 where the theme was "Tiny World". CONTROLS & GAMEPLAY: Movement: Arrow Keys or WASDAction: Enter or Spacebar Through the actions of the people that live on the back of the Tortoise, help steer the World Tortoise along the path so that she can win the race against the Hare. They may need to move to one side of the world to make the World Tortoise steer in that direction. STORY: The World Tortoise has been challenged by the jerk Hare to a foot race. The people of the World will need to help the World Tortoise navigate the path as she has bad vision. It will be a challenge that requires everyone's help. From The Developer:Thanks for checking out my game. Thanks to my family who put up with me for the past week as I got this game built. My goal with this year's project was to focus on creating a unique and original game. The technical skill I wanted to focus on in particular was polish. I'm happy with some of what I learned. There's still more I could have done like adding in more sound effects and thinking of a better game, but I like how the game fit the theme. 10 days may seem like a lot, but there's still only so many hours I was able to put into the game. I hope you enjoy what I have made.
