Fruit Roots was a collaboration project in a Game Jam (Global Game Jam) in which the theme was "Roots". From this, we conceptualised a game similar to "Getting Over It" where you play as a fruit who yearns to return to their home at the top of the tree and have to try and climb a difficult course up the tree.

Software Used:

Given this was my second Game Jam, we were attempting to create games and gain experience in the project. As a result, we learnt many lessons from this game jam and this was a beginning in our game-making journey.
In the projects, my contributions included:
Worked on the sound design including finding music and SFX
Worked on art via creating meshes and sprites for the game
Worked on UI elements
QA and playtesting to ensure no significant bugs were found
In Fruit Roots, there was a strong sense of punishment in missed jumps and as a result we wanted to make sure that the collisions were unforgiving yet accurate.
