About the game
The game was made for The Very Serious Juniper Dev Game Jam but I lost a couple of days due to other commitments.
Almost everything you see in the game is png exported vector graphics from inkscape. I used photos and other source material to trace lines and shapes from. This includes most text. Almost no curved lines. Almost no undos. Trying to reach a distilled and personal ugly-core.
The palette was not very practical, but chosen from the primary colors in the Juiper Dev's Garden discord logo.
Honestly, the game would need at least twice as many assets to flesh it out properly but I'm quite happy what I managed to churn out. It's also much to hot here to sit focused in front of the computer for very long.
