Run and jump to safe the day in Wastelander, a post-apocalyptic platformer.

Your goal is to defuse a nuclear bomb before it goes off (unfortunately due to my lack of programming skills I was not able to implement the defusing itself, but I might redo the game and add it then, because I like the idea).

Controls

A/D = Walk

Space = Jump

Esc = Pause



This Game was made for the Tavern Game Jam in winter 2023.

Almost everything was done by yours truly. This was my first real self programmed game, since I used ChatGPT for my past projects. Also This is my first game, which got pixel art made for every little element, which I am proud of even though all of the styles don’t mix that well together. Additionally  it was fun to work with the pre-determined color palette as a little challenge.

Unfortunately I had major problems with my audio I couldnt fix, so I had to scrap it, aswell as some other features is had planned :(

However I hope to get some feedback on my art and my code, so I can improve for the future.

Art: Good 4/5

Code: meh, good enuf 3/5

The artstyle was good, and I liked the concept of the game. Really fast paced, and floaty character controller.

Maybe try to improve on the controls code side of things.

Overall 4/5 :)

Had fun with this one! Even though I died and ran out of time a lot, traversal was pretty fun. The wall jump is particularly fun if finicky on short walls. 

I also liked playing via controller, though menus were mouse only.

Very nice game it's fun
