Emitter: releasing my Global Game Jam entry

Jan 28 2017 News 1 comment

This year we, for the second time, organized Global Game Jam in Ukraine. The theme was really cool – "WAVES". I particularly liked that it allowed multiple creative interpretations.

During the jam I was busy with organizational questions, but at night between Saturday and Sunday I managed to cut several hours from my sleep and made my own prototype.

So, the idea is such: imagine a water sufrace. When you drop a pebble into it, the waves start spreading from the centre. Now let's look at this process from the opposite side: where should you drop the pebble to create the waves of particular shape? Taking into account that the waves reflect from the walls of the basin, this can be a very interesting question.

Here's how the gameplay looks like (gif)

During the post-jam week I completed the game and now I'm ready for release.

Among the new features there are:

various waves shapes (triangle, square, etc)
sounds of real ocean waves which accompany your play
cellular grid to help you aim better
scoring system
storage of player's score history

You are welcome to check the game and share your suggestions. It can be downloaded from PlayMarket
