Gunfire of the Manatees /  by Allison James

A pirate ship has harpooned their latest catch: two massive manatees by the name of Siegfried and Montague. Problem is… they’re heavily armed.

As Siegfried and Montague, unleash a barrage of minigun fire on the ship as you fly through the air and swim through the ocean, harpooned until the ship sinks with every last survivor on it meeting their well-deserved fate. They won’t come quietly though - shoot down cannonballs, war boats, repair drops and scuba-diving cutlass-wielding crewmates along the way.

Chaos incarnate. But short.

Made for GMC Jam #54.

Typing Your Bass /  by Allison James

Spell the names of fish while casting your rod to make impressive catches, and learn entirely accurate statistics and fun facts about a funny number of your favourite swimmers. Now that's magical.

Game created in the 48 hour period; all the art was generated using OpenAI DALL-E. That's why it looks so doofy. Also ate away like 40 of my credits. I was saving those for making funnies. Grr.

Sling for the Level /  by Allison James

Catapult your way up a hectic, grinder-filled tower of slings in "Sling for the Level", a procedurally-generated fast-paced arcade game.

Tap/click and hold (anywhere) to start pulling the current sling, move your finger/mouse back to aim your shot and decide its power, and let go to ping yourself at high velocity towards the next sling.

Navigate sling wheels, bumpers and escalators in your way to the top - but don't fall or take too long, as an ever-ascending inescapable grinder is ready to chomp you up!

Play the GX.games version on Opera GX for online highscores!

Chainwhacks /  by Allison James

By day, Carto City is a peaceful metropolis - parks, shops, everything you could need. But by night, robots roam, and they're more than happy to destroy anything squishy enough to pose a threat.

Chainwhack enemy robots to destroy them, build turrets to aid in fending them off, and chainwhack those to defend and repair them.

Establish a hospital for healing, a DIY shop to chainwhack harder and keep your turrets maintained, and more.

Most importantly, survive the night - the robots will succumb to sunlight at 6am sharp and you can use the wealth they drop to buy more turrets and upgrades!

Two Tickets to the Gun Show /  by Allison James

A giant beefy boy with cannons for armpits puts on a show.

Delicately clasp your mouse and push it around to watch that hunky goliath sway as his high-calibre appendages shoot uncontrollably to the hip hop beat.

Fend off wave after wave of awry fireworks and mildly irate tank drivers and take us all to the gun show.

Every sixty seconds, a clone of you spawns and repeats your actions transposed by a minute.

Collect Unbranded Original Flavour Capsules. Don't run into your past selves constantly repeating your past movements. And advance the level, but be aware - your past selves will still follow your route, so they'll be able to travel through walls that weren't there a minute ago!

Features online highscores courtesy of Dan Johnston (coded in the allotted time... for his own gm48 entry. And then I had to cry until he helped me steal his code.)

All other programming, all art and all music made by me.

Ne Touchez Pas 5 /  by Allison James

0960_0200_ItchioHeader.png

An extremely difficult game with one simple rule - do not touch.

In Ne Touchez Pas 5, you navigate 100 different levels with six different characters, all with unique control methods, attempting to reach the finish in one piece. Dodge deadly fans, evade eviscerating laser beams, and manoeuvre around moving segments, hit switches to open paths, collect optional bits and throw yourself through the void at the end of each level to progress.

Play as:

  • L'Oiseau, a french bird that flaps its little wings!

  • Jetpod, a tiny pilot with the lust for thrust!

  • Rockit, a rocket built for destruction but here to kick some walls!

  • Astro, an astronaut that doesn't know why they're here and is getting dizzy!

  • Car, with a full tank of petrol and a six digit milometer!

  • Square, just here to give people an easy mode!

Features 100 levels, 480 collectables, progress tracking, catchy music with a nostalgic easter egg for the four people that will remember the original Ne Touchez Pas games from the noughties, and a quit button for when you get stuck. You will probably get stuck.
