ABOUT

The game was created during a game jam for Aalto University Game Design students. The jam started on Monday 29.8.2022 at 10 and ended on Friday 2.9.2022 at 15. Our team consisted of 4 students: two first year major students, one minor student and one second year student.

The theme of the jam was The Twist and it was suggested by the organizer that it could be interpreted as making clone of an existing game, with a twist. However, after throwing off ideas for 2 hours our team landed on a more ambitious plan. We would make an original game that does not only twist the concept of one game, but instead the whole genre of split screen games.
