MARRIAGE HOCKEY

A 48hr game jam game by Jake and Jessica Card.

Created for GMTK Game Jam 2021

Theme: Joined Together

Somewhere on this earth, tucked far, far away
Our ancient tradition takes place to this day

A marriage begins in the midst of the night
but must only continue if the score is just right

I tether this rope from your ankle to mine
to show that our love is an infinite line

We play for our marriage, we play for our life
For a higher score means a happier wife

RULES

You and your spouse just got married. Congratulations! However, by your family's traditions, you must play a game of Marriage Hockey in order to predict the future of your relationship. Are you doomed, or will you have the best marriage ever? Only the score will tell.

Use WASD to control the groom and the arrow keys to control the bride. Use the rope that connects you to hit the puck and score goals. Each goal is a point toward the future of your relationship. We designed this to be played single player, but can easily accommodate a partner playing one of the controls.

Occasionally, family and friends will throw wedding presents onto the ice to help with your score.

Hit Escape to quit.

Thanks for playing!

SCORE

Make sure to post your high score in the comments! Our personal best was 11.  It's kind of a hard game so keep trying and make sure to pop those presents to help you out!
