What they build

Eight weeks, one finished game

Weeks 1–3

A character that moves, jumps and collides with the world. This is where variables and functions stop being abstract.

Weeks 4–6

Levels, enemies, scoring and sound. They design the difficulty themselves, then watch someone else play it.

Weeks 7–8

Polish, publish, and demo it to you on the last evening. They leave with the files, the game and a link they can send anyone.
