Cowboy Crash is a game for a week long game jam, by the theme of Unstoppable. It was organized by me and it was between my classmates and I.
For this game, I went with the idea of making the player run through an unstoppable train to escape it with your horse before it crashes and kills everyone inside of the train, oops 🫣.
I wanted to make it a very basic speed running platforming game, trying to make the player learn a couple of different techniques to try and go quicker to allow them to beat the game.
Overall the game went very well, all the plans and expectations I had before making the game were met.
The workflow I had is that I made all the obstacles and full character movement before working on the level design, meaning that no matter how much time I have left at all points I would have a fully completed game, and this plan worked out very well. I managed to make a game that feels fully complete and is a good length for the game that I intended to make.
Because of this, I was able to win the game jam very convincingly.
