2D Platformer: Just a Rock

What is this?

This game is a 2D platformer I made for a game jam in two days (jam lasted seven days, but I could only dedicate two). This platformer is made for PC and is played with mouse and keyboard. You play as a rock that can jump, wall jump, shoot rocks, dash and hold up a shield. The goal is to get to the end of the level without being killed by the angry balloons. 

One major flaw with this game is the tutorial. The tutorial was built to test the limits of the movement system instead of easing the player into using each ability. For this reason many players did not make it passed the first level because it failed to teach the player much of anything. For example there is no in-game hint that shows the player they can wall jump. While this issue can be attributed to the fact it was only made in two days, it would be the first thing that needs to be addressed if I were to update this game.

Board Game: A Pirate's Life

What is this? This is a board game I developed in a group for my game design class. I acted as the group leader and was the primary contributor for all of the gameplay elements. We worked as a group to refine these elements through playtesting using the iterative design process. The art assets are not commercial ready yet and were not the focus of the assignment, but I do plan to clean up the visuals at a later date. The assignment was to modify the original checkered game of life and make it our own. As a group we decided to make a pirate themed game where players move around an island looking for treasure, stealing from other players and avoiding the skeletons that inhabit the island. This game went through many iterations were we added, refined and removed features. The final ruleset and some of the changes we documented can be found below.
