I keep blowing hot & cold on my #gmtk #gamejam entry. Each time I think it isn't worth the effort, I add a constraint and it seems fun again. Still not sure. Nice planets, a scoop mechanism, and you must orbit every planet to progress.

I completed my #Atari I, Rebel #gamejam entry: xbattlestation.itch.io/ungul8r It was a lot of fun to make, a bit different to the games I normally make. Action twin stick shooter, my version of a Jeff Minter style take on JetPac vs Llamatron, made in 7 days. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #monogame
Ungul8r by xbattlestation
A twin stick shooter I made for the I, REBEL Game Jam 2025 powered by Atari. A mix of Llamatron & JetPac.

First day of Jeff Minter game jam - theme: The Perfect Beast. Got a basic gameloop going, with temporary main sprite pinched from a minter game. Next to add a weird feature that fits the theme. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #monogame #gamejam
