Gold Rush
Game Jam game created for the Commercial Games Studio module as part of my studies at UWE.
This game was created in a 1 week game jam by myself and 3 of my course-mates. We had the brief to make a ‘co-op/competitive’ game and we created Gold Rush. It is a 2 player game in which the players must collect all the coins around the track in order to win together. Time is extended each time they collect a coin and if time expires while there are still coins to be collected they will lose. To add the element of competition we added the counters to each player to see which of them collected the most coins. We also wanted to add a sense of jeopardy hence the necessity for the players to control their speed else they will go off the tracks which incurs a similar loss of time to that of going off track in Mario Kart.
