Little One...

This game was made for the 48 hour Aotearoa 2021 Game Jam! 

The theme for this jam was 'Light and Dark'...

About the game:

Little One is a brick breaking - monster hunting - trampoline bouncing - bullet hell madness - twin stick shooter - with a serious undertone driven through the narrative.

Using the Light and Dark theme, I decided to make an educational game to help youngsters through tough times, bullying and the negative self-talk that accompanies it.

I wanted to give an impression that an older, wiser parental figure was guiding and supporting you along the way. By talking directly to the character, I hope it creates that feeling of hope and support.

I hope you enjoy it!

Controls:

Sorry, I ran out of time to add touch controls - Ill be adding them if I decide to continue with this project.

About me:

I've been making educational games for a few years with a focus around cyber security education. I wanted to participate in this (my first) Game Jam, to try out some new ideas and see what was possible in a weekend.

I'm a solo game maker and decided for this project that I would try and use only assets that I have made and have created within this 48 hour window. Happy to say that I managed to create 95% of the assets you see in 'Little One' within this Jam period.

Big thank you to the organisers of this Game Jam!
