Dynapogo by Allison James

0960_0200_ItchioHeader.png

Created in around eight working hours. Blow up the word with your dynamite-equipped pogo stick, and go for the longest distance you can before dying at the hands of the disaster-struck, lava-flooded, due-for-distruction city of... uh... Dynaster.

When the sun turns orange, it's a new best survival distance! Thank-you for being QA for this game, you are in the credits with the best distance noted! (This was a workaround to the handicap of the jam being “No in-game text besides credits.)

Use your mouse to point the pogo stick where you want to bounce. Click to add up to three levels of explosive power (resets to 1 each time you bounce off something).

Dynapogo was entered into GMC Jam #8, where it came 5th.

“Dyyyynaaaapohgoh. Very difficult but fun, with an obvious hint of classic NAL zaniness.“ - Dan Johnston
“Dyna- po – go. Dyna- po – go. Dyna- po – go. Dyna- po – go. What I remember the most from this game is the word “Dyna- po – go”. Nice little game.“ - HayManMarc

Take Nergar the Icelandic Aardvark through the Welsh valleys, solving people’s problems.

This was an entry into GMC Jam #6, where it came joint last. I did, however, win Best Devlog. Since the GameMaker Community that #6 was held on is gone as of December 2019, here it is for your benefit:

“Strangely addicting game, I liked it.“ - CaptainLepidus
”The funny awesome one” - TheUltimate
”This was actually fairly entertaining. A lot of the humour is pretty ridiculous though, and much of it I just don't get.” - fyaopo
”This one is great if you're looking for a good laugh.” - brighteyes
“The text seems to be filled with British inside jokes that don't make any sense to someone like me.“ - RekNepZ
“I really am not sure how I got some of the achievements, but I got them.” - Follomania
”Figured I'd get this one out of the way first since it looked a bit offensive.” - Spydog
”I ended up just walking around apparently solving problems that I didn't know I had.” - Rusty
”The game was funny, vulgar, self-referential, oddly drawn, and reeking of low effort.” - speedchuck
”You're a terrible person. I am too, so I had a couple of chuckles.” - Zeddy
”*reads warning* "Oh it can't be THAT offensive..." *plays game for a minute* "..." *chucks truckload of bricks at NAL*” - 11clock

The Dark Gyration by Allison James

0960_0200_ItchioHeader.png

Made to experiment with surfaces and particles together heavily. It’s all just a bit spinny really…

Avoid the dark areas, keep in colourful areas, and splooge a bit of green around the place for safety but also score loss!

Hallucinogun by Allison James

Corrupted by a facade of health, wealth and society, you are out to assassinate the figments of your imagination! You are a victim of Hallucinogun: you’re hallucinating, and you have a gun!

Yes, that’s the best pun I could come up with! Deal with it!

Hallucinogun was an entry into GMC Jam #5, where it placed 28th.
