A small puzzle game for the Vaultacular Game Jam.
The theme? "Here, Take One"
My interpretation? "Here, Take One Look".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You've somehow fallen into the Cardboard Caverns, and must cross a series of voids in order to escape. Each level has a grid of tiles, with one or more safe paths across, but one wrong step will cost you.
The catch? You only get one short look at the tiles before they disappear and you must remember where to step to cross to safety.

Programmer by trade I decided to try and focus on playing around with things other than the code for this project, so I picked up blender and learned to do some basic 3D for the first time in over a decade, and then just played around creating a paper/cardboard look for the game. By no means perfect, but I'm happy with it for what it is.
Have been playing around with audio too, attempting to create a spooky and unsettling vibe in the caverns, but none of that VO work is currently in the game, looking to add that shortly, but may not make it in before the end of the jam.

My goodness, where do I begin?! loving the mood and visuals right from the start. loved the vault ;) your game made me question my memory! my sanity! my fear of cardboard! great job, man! thank you for being apart of the jam!
Well heck thanks man. As a programmer it was nice to try and focus on the art for a change to mix it up so I’m glad people have been appreciating that aspect of it. And hey thanks for running the Jam, glad I stumbled on your channel just before it started.
