Road to Joy

Cooperative 1-2 player music harmony game. Can you weave through the gauntlet of notes in Beethoven's Ode to Joy? 

Created for the VIM4 Game Jam September 2023  (https://itch.io/jam/vimjam4), Hosted by 8 Bits to Infinity: a game development community dedicated to improving creative and technical skills through rapid iteration and honest, critical feedback.

Themes

Mechanical Focus (Required): Checkpoint,

Theme (Semi-Optional): Cross Paths.

Challenges

Game is played within a single song, all graphics from simple flat geometric, two buttons or less controls.

My Interpretation

Players move through a path of notes, having to choose the correct pairings for the song "Ode to Joy". Players can cross paths and the AI Harmony option chooses the higher or lower note depending on player 1.

Checkpoints are reached by completing each miusical measure. Making a note mistake returns the player to just before the measure.

Used mostly simple shapes, a single tune, and only two controls (up/down).

About Me

This is my first game jam. Learned a lot in the process and humbled how much time  debugging can take.
