Hola Piñata (JAM Version)

As the Unidos Village was getting ready to celebrate, an unfortunate event interrupted the preparations for the party.
Kaboooooom!

Sadly, all the pinatas have been scattered and the party is in danger .

Help the villagers collect all the pinatas before the party starts!

This small game version has been created for the Unidos Hispanic Heritage Month Jam 2022. 

The theme selected for the jam was "Supporting Others". This theme first triggered the idea of having people helping each other in order to reach a higher level goal, all together and in a positive mood. The first draft was a human tower reaching a pinata. 
I decided to implement game mechanics showing people supporting each other, collaborating even when playing solo : multiple characters to control, with several small goals allowing the team to reach the ultimate goal : the pinata.

My personal challenge here was around efficiency and quick decision making: I participated alone, and only had 2 and a half day to spend on the JAM, to do what I usually do in at least 4 days.

If you liked the game and spent 5 nice minutes playing it, and want to support us... the best way is to share the game to some friends, as well as to follow us to keep informed about upcoming releases. Arcade Eleven is a young game development studio, consisting in 1 guy and some casuals friends/guests/contributors.  Leaving a comment is always a great source of motivation, and it also helps us to see if there's an interested in going further with the game.
