Star Jammer

Star Jammer is a run and gun platformer or Metrovania style game written for GB30 Jam. There are some fairly strict limitations, particularly with graphics: resolutions is limited to 160x144 and only 4 colours can be used at any one time.

The sounds has also been limited to 8-bit style effects and music limited to chiptunes. Other than that, the game is fairly standard-fare, the time limitation didn't allow for much experimentation and inovation.

There are 3 levels with a variety of hazards and items to pick up and use or purchase from the various shops.

I'm reasonably pleased with how this game turned out within the allowed timeframe. Most areas could be expanded upon and make for a much larger game as a whole with colour graphics and a larger resolution.
