HELP US FIND THE NEXT TOP GAMES DEVELOPER!
See below for the game prototypes created relating to this theme. All of these were made in just one week as part of Stoke ON TREND GamesJam hosted by Stoke-on-Trent City Centre BID and Staffordshire University, mainly by Foundation Year and First Year students across games courses at Staffordshire University.
They might be a little rough around the edges due to the timeframe in which they were made, but we're sure you'll agree that they hold great promise and potential.
Some games are playable via your mobile phone right here in the city centre, whereas some you will need to download onto your PC. However, they all do feature videos of gameplay so that you can get a taste for the game and see how it works; be sure to make a note of your favourites so that you can play them at home later!
We need your help though as YOUR VOTE will help decide which game is the winner, earning its creators the ultimate prize... The opportunity to work in a studio style environment at the Staffordshire University for a six-week period over the summer of 2021 with access to the University’s commercial licenses to turn their game into a commercially releasable game.
Have fun viewing, playing and rating!

Rise of the Spitfire is a 2D pixel shoot'em up designed for the Stoke-On-Trend games jam. The overall theme was Stoke-On-Trent with 8 diversifiers, we were given Spitfire as our diversifier, so we designed a mobile-friendly game centred around destroying as many things as possible without dying all while not being destroyed yourself.
