About the game jam and a little bit about the process
This game was made for the Pizza Jam #9, where there was a long list of themes for the jam. Team up with another person and tempted by the possibility of winning a pizza, we ended up choosing the theme "Crime-Stoppers" and creating a world run by a gang and a hero with the ability to stop time.
The game ended up ranking overall in 8th place out of 38 and in 8th aesthetics wise, and it can be played here.
One thing that was clear from the beginning was that using sensationalistic headlines like in newspapers was a must, as well as creating a clear separation of the different levels by using different colors. Visually there was also the need to add some texture without making it feel overcrowded, so that's where the use of transparency and multiply (a blend mode) came along.
Gameplay
The player is essentially playing against sensationalistic news outlets that the player is actually using their time-bending abilities to better society by stopping the crimes committed by the Woofers.
In order to prevent the crimes from happening the player has a small time period to come up with a creative solution using the objects around the scene. These objects can be dragged and dropped into strategic places to stop the crimes from unfolding.
