Squirt - GMTK JAM Mac OS
In this challenging single player/local co-op rowing game you have to time your oar strokes to avoid obstacles and get to the beach! Be careful not to bump into any rocks or else you might get a puncture that pushes you around. If you can't get to the beach before the air pressure runs out you'll sink! (Some players use this extra push to their advantage).
Submission to GMTK Game Jam 2020. Make sure to download the appropriate file based on what operating system you have. Mac OS X Jam Edition.zip 71 MB. This game was created in 48 hours during the Game Maker’s Toolkit’s Game Jam 2018 event hosted by Mark Brown. The competition’s theme was “GENRE, but you can’t MECHANIC”. Grand Snail Prix is a local 1v1 racing game without speed. Whithout this annoying mechanic, players will have more time to think which strategy should they follow.
Have fun rowing with the buoys!!
CONTROLS
| Begin oar stroke | Perform oar stroke | |
| Left oar | A | Z |
| Right oar | K | M |
The position and colour of the oar after the first key is pressed will determine the strength of the stroke. Timing the button presses differently means you push at different amounts! https://download-search.mystrikingly.com/blog/she-dreamt-in-neon-mac-os.
Is this game single player or local co-op?
Both! The dinghy is controlled by two sets of keys on the keyboard that can either be controlled by one player or two. The levels are balanced more towards the local co-op experience so players playing it as a single player game may find it easier as you have more control over timing your strokes.

Post Jam Update
- Fixed UI scaling issues so it should now work on most monitors
- Fixed oar stroke system and added a slight glow effect to make it slightly easier to determine the stroke strength.
- Swapped some levels around and replaced one with a newer version to try and smooth out difficulty curve
- Added better camera system so that it follows the player's horizontal position as some players were unable to see the whole level due to their screen size
Things to come!
- Accessibility options:
- Custom keybindings
- Colour blind mode
- Optional charge metres to make it easier to determine the stroke strength without relying on the change in colour
- More levels! (After refactoring the whole level system which is currently a mess lol)
- Adding a timer and award system so you can see how fast you've completed levels
- Adding water currents that push around buoys and the dinghy
This game was made in it's entirety (including music, models and animations) during the 48hour GMTK2020 game jam! This was also the first time any of us have participated in a game jam so feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Intro:
One Second! is a series of fast paced RPG battle where you have to make quick decisions and defeat your foes.
Once you are into a battle you can only act when the timer is blue (one second) and the red is the 'AI' turn (not sure we can call this AI at that point haha).
You can only do one action per turn (attack or heal), same for the enemies.
This game was created for the Game Maker Toolkit (GMTK) Game Jam of 2019, the theme was 'only one'.
Edit: i just realized there is no way to 'win' the game right now since it's just infinite battles.
Enjoy and feel free to send feedbacks my way so i can do better next time ❤
