Nebulords ²⁰²²
4author description
Nebulords is a fast paced retro-inspired local 4-player game created in 30 days for the Global Multiplayer Game Jam 2022. Influenced by Atari classics, the game combines the space movement and screen wrapping of Asteroids with the frenetic paddle and ball gameplay of Warlords and Breakout. Catch and shoot the bouncing ball to destroy your opponent's core while defending your own. Music byJuhani Junkala.

Game Jam Post Mortem:
This game was a ton of fun to make in the little spare time I had over the course of 30 days. With the exception of the music, I made everything from scratch and I think I was able to accomplish a decent level of polish for a game jam game (though there are still a few bugs). However, it was not exactly smooth sailing. The aim of this game jam was to implement online multiplayer which I tried and failed miserably at. I'm allergic to programming and I quickly found that online multiplayer was way over my head, so I opted to make an offline multiplayer game instead. For the "reconnect" theme, the player needs to connect their paddle with the ball in order to launch it, so there is a risk/reward factor in chasing down the ball. I had some additional game mechanic ideas for the theme, but I didn't have time to implement them. Many thanks to my awesome wife who helped me playtest and helped design the UI.
