The following is the reason I missed the Pokemon X/Y launch.

Our school had a Game Jam contest where we had to team up with people to develop a video game, within a theme and two random genres, in 48 hours straight. The contest just ended tonight as I'm making this thread.

As a coder, I've done that with two other coders and a 2D artist.

The theme we got as "the infinity and the void" and we got "tower defense" and "rhythm". So yeah, we had to make a game that uses elements for both genres.

That's what we made: StarStep
(Windows only)

You play the game by pressing the arrow keys (blue = left, green = down, red = right) when a star aligns with its corresponding black hole. By doing combos (getting a series of stars without missing), you generate soldiers to attack the ennemy base, which has towers to kill the soldiers. Miss 3 stars and it's game over.

Here is some important stuff:

• IMPORTANT: Miss 2 stars at the beginning, or the game will crash at the end when you'll usually win. Yup, that's a mean glitch.
• The game is made in 48 hours, using a library that only I knew about before the competition (SFML, by the way, and it's coded in C++).
• The game isn't even finished. We've planned to do a lot more than that to begin with.
• The bullets do nothing and can go through one game window to another. So the game is actually really easy to win.
• The rhythm game part is not 100% synced. Expect desynchronization.
• When you "lose" the game, you don't even lose it. You can continue to play, and win.

Also, here's an asset we didn't have time to implement.
