WINNERS OF GGJ BRISTOL 2018 Inspired particularly by the "Under the Influence" diversifier, Instruct-O-Bot involves navigating a robot around an arena to pick up and transmit data, however you must fire instructions from the sidelines. A mixture of forward thinking, good timing and patience is required in order to complete each level under par. You can download the game and read more about the team here.

A tiny god game where you have to protect your small peeps from realizing they are living on a flat world, and if some find out... you better smush them before they tell the rest! Made in collaboration with Daisy Spiers & Jamie Lewis. You can play it over on GameJolt.

SynthRider

Made for Absurd Aspect Ratio Game Jam this is the first game I have made with Unreal engine. It's an abstract racing game where the aspect ratio changes to frame the action on the screen as you move along the track. The goal is to gett to the end as fast as possible. Hitting crystals slows you down. SynthRider was made in collaboration with Josh Palmer, Daisy Spiers and Jamie Lewis.

Hover Cabby Prototype

Made for Cyperpunk Game Jam 2.0. I wanted to do a game about being a hover cab driver for ages so I decided to give it a shot! I spent a lot of time on refining the controls to make it feel like a floating car and not just an airplane. You can read an interview over on alphabetagamer where I go into more detail about the game.
