Global Game Jam 2012

So this weekend, myself and 4 friends entered the 2012 Global Game Jam. we were given the theme "Ouroboros" , a picture of a snake eating its own tail. and were given 48 hours to design and make a game about it.

Anyway Our was Called "I Don't want to be a dog". Where the player plays as a generic fantasy warrior who has to get his way to floor 100 of a tower to kill the evil wizard. The problem is that the enemies in each floor get hard very quickly (But also reward a lot of exp).

Trying to use the ideaology behind the oroubous' circle of life and life and death. We made it so if the player dies he will be instantly ressurected. The Snake God comes down from the sky and reincarnates you into a new body. Sometimes your born as an amazingly skilled knight or Mage, sometimes you're reborn as a dog. And have to continue you mission to kill the wizard as a dog.

Out of the Auckland GameJammers we got 2nd overall for best game and we got 2 awards:

"Weirdest Game" 
"Game most likely to make you swear at your computer."

My Roles: User Interfaces/some Gameplay /some 2D Art.
