Garden of Eden: Snails of Calamity

This was a jam entry to Global Game Jam 2023. I really wanted to make a local multiplayer game, since this was the first in-person jam I've ever done. This PvP game was mostly based on a shower idea I had the night before, about how combat could work. Essentially, each player can choose to "corrupt" themselves in order to gain an edge in combat. They get stronger and gain more abilities to help kill other players in these minute-long rounds. However, after a minute elapses, the most corrupted players die. This means that the question isn't whether or not you should corrupt, but how much?

“In the Garden of Eden, there is a civil war among the different snail clans. Shoot eye lasers to kill the other snails and defeat your opponents to become the sole victor. Why can they shoot lasers out of their eyes? Don't ask.”
