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!

Running out of Time is an endless runner game where you play as a robot aiming to fix the head of the famouse Stoke on Trent Blue Clock, however, when running up the clock, there are obstacles in the way which you will need to avoid. The only way to get rid of the obstacles and left over gum is to fix the clock head to wind time back to when the Clock was made!
To assist in the players climb up the Blue Clock, the player can use the Clock's power to rewind time 3 times per attempt! This means that if the play is about to hit a wall, they can rewind to a recent position to continue climbing the clock.
Feel free to express yourself with the colour customisation feature. If you achieve a high enough highscore, you will also be able to unlock an extra cosmetic feature for your robot!
