This project was made for the Global Game Jam - Games 4 Change University Student Challenge 2025

-This was my 2nd ever game jam and 1st one going solo.  First itch.io post!

Thank you for taking a look at my submission!

-The core idea with this was to make a funny souls-like that had a stat-system inspired by national/world health resources to encourage a balanced diet, and fridge mechanics as a way to encourage reducing waste, as well as adding a bit of a rogue-like element into the mix. It didn’t quite get there but I hope it was at least entertaining.

-If I were to continue further I’d keep polishing the stat system, make the composting ability more of an enjoyable farming experience and make enemy modifiers for foods that seem healthy but are actually bad for you.

-Did not actually use this for anything except the pyramid top, but initially intended to use it to give everything a toon aesthetic. In the end I decided that it wouldn’t work that well with the environment so almost everything is using a URP simple lit shader. It’s a very cool and worthwhile asset however.
