Entropy - GMTK GameJam 2021

By: Vinay Yuvashankar

This game was created for the Game Maker's ToolKit Game Jam 2021. 

The theme was "Joined Together", In this game, two ships are joined together, and the goal is to survive an onslaught of spawning cubes.

The right ship can be used to knock the boxes, while the left ship will get injured if hit by the boxes.

You gain points and health for every box you knock out of the opening. You get a power multiplier that increases your score but also makes it more difficult to knock the boxes out as the opening gets narrower as the multiplier increases.

If you get hurt, your multiplier decreases, but the opening gets wider making it easier to knock the boxes out of the level. 

The goal was to create a system that can help struggling players, while rewarding players that do well with more points.
