Story

Monoquous 2 /  by Allison James

All laws of physics are a suggestion.

Monoquous 2 is a challenging puzzle platformer in which you can phase through walls to invert the world around you, taking the direction of gravity with it - up becomes down, black becomes white, and deadly obstacles lose and gain their threat along the way.

Switch on and off new walls and paths, scale long conveyors, and don't touch anything pointy... at least not in your own realm.

Monoquous 2 features 130 levels, 30 returning from the original game and 100 new to Monoquous. Each level also features a hidden cat, a minimum phase and jump goal, a set of time trials, and beyond that are speedrun and permadeath runs. Finishing the game is fairly accessible, 100%ing it will test you.

Unlock tints to pretend colour exists in this universe, and read an 80-line poem that unlocks as you find more and more cats.

Also features some accessibility options in which you can turn on or off things like graphical swaying and inversion.

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.

Bricks Up, Look Sharp /  by Allison James

Tet-what? Who-tris? Play as an Amplegore, as well as a suspiciously familiar array of multi-ominos, as you try to build as high as possible, far out of the original play area, without popping your deliciously sanguine epidermis.

Go up! Don't make lines! Those don't make you go up! Up! Go up! UP

Jasmine Laslo - Switch U On /  by Allison James

0960_0200_ItchioHeader.png

You've been tasked with a simple but bizarre request from business magnate Rudolf Laslo - help him get his daughter's latest (terrible) song to 1,000,000 plays on his streaming service, Slola. He's so desperate for that, that every other track on the service is currently down.

Reach 1,000,000 plays by any means possible.

Four Versus The World /  by Allison James

0960_0200_ItchioHeader.png

Turns out war changes.

In Four Versus The World, each adventure is unique. Travel from city to city with "The Four", the sole survivors of one of many possible catastrophes that took place shortly before the game's events.

Hunt for food, energy, health packs, skill points and car parts to keep yourselves, and your beloved vehicle, on the road.

Search scenery and dungeons and do your best not to die in the face of continuous, sometimes arbitrary dilemmas - each character only has one life; once they're dead, they're dead forever.

Make it to the final destination, the glorious British city of... well, it's different every time, just like everything else.

It's all tongue in cheek and profoundly British. Made in 72 hours for the July 2016 GMC Jam.
