This project is our winning entry to the Game Jam 2026, held by the student council I/1 at RWTH Aachen University.
You can play the game online here.
A game jam is a programming contest, where small groups (2-5 people) develop games for a common theme in a limited timeframe.
The theme for this Game Jam was "The more you have, the worse it gets", and 19 student teams had 48 hours to create a game fitting the theme from scratch.
Out of 19 participating teams, our game made first place in jury voting, and 3rd place among participant voting!
Other entries can be found here.
Due to the nature of a 48-hour contest, the game had some minor issues at the submission deadline. While we did not fix these issues before judging, we have applied these fixes for this repository:
- Fixed a bug where some items would not vanish after completion
- Replay ghosts now continue moving while the player interacts with an item
- Improve text readability
- Hide red arrow during cutscene
