Roll Away
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
What happened? Who did it happen to? Who are you? Indeed, these questions are oft asked in everyday life, but for you the situation is quite unusual. You find yourself a solitary sphere, with no company but some bizarre floating discs. How did you arrive here? There are no memories left, perhaps you were always here, all you know is you must go, where, who knows, but go you must. This realm you find yourself in is unusual, even for someone who knows of no other realms, what with the whole memories thing. It appears bizarrely chromatic and even unfriendly, as much as an inanimate world can be. If you're still reading, use the pass-code darz in the octagonal room. It would seem this devilish dimension is composed of multiple colored areas, with a variety of accompanying themes sure to drive you inane. Best get rolling then, and good luck, you might need it.
Bingo score: 17/25 I tried, but my game engine doesn't allow external assets :P
Game name is a pun, alliteration, wordplay, or includes the theme or jam name- Provide extensive lore/backstory on the itch page
- Do not include a main menu
Use Kevin McLeod music (be sure to give credit, as specified on the website)Use Kenney assetsMake home-recorded sounds (don't even worry about the quality)Use disjointed art asset stylesUse the default Unity skybox somehow- Make a janky player character animation (I think it's pretty silly c: )

- Include a box/rock pushing puzzle
- Post WIP images/gifs in the Discord

Hint at a feature, but apologize in-game for running out of time- Esc button quits the game
- No failure/death screen, game just restarts
Player can fall out of the world, especially when they don't expect it- Game crashes (ideally not in a way that prevents winning)

- Upload an untested build for a system mentioning that you don't have access to it (i.e. Mac users post a PC build, and vice versa)
