Gem & Ini

This is a game prototype developed as part of the Edinburgh Napier Summer Games project, by a team of students.

The team was made up of students from three different disciplines: Digital Media and Interactive Design, Sound Design, and Games Development.

The team was tasked with making a local multiplayer game, where cooperation between players was the main focus. The game had to be suitable for a wide range of ages, must not contain any weapons, and must not have a high skill barrier.

The team devised a game where two aliens have escaped a military research facility and have to return to outer space. Both aliens are joined together by the tail and players control either of the aliens.

The aliens will have to jump, climb, and swing their way through the desert in order to find their ship!

Requirements

The game is designed for 2 players and can be controlled by a pair of controllers connected to the computer.
