Rubber Ninja - GDKO 2025 Game Jam Round 1

Tag: Gamedev, Gamemaker Studio 2, Gamejam | Date: 2025-1-13

Hey everyone!
As I foreshadowed on my blog post, I was working on a project with a "bouncing knife" as the main idea.
That project was actually for the GDKO 2025 Round 1 gamejam!

In essence, it's a 2D platformer where you can teleport to a bouncing knife
The goal of each level is to make it to the exit, using a bouncing knife that you can throw and teleport to (the core mechanic)
The secondary mechanic is the power/speed at which you throw the knife.
Throwing the knife quick allows you to get to places quicker, however some challenges require a slower throw, in order to correct time the teleport (unless your reaction time is just cracked lol)

Below are some images from the game!

    I made this short little demo back in second year (circa 2021?), while procastinating studying for exams lmao.
    I made it using GameMaker Studio 2. To this day, it is still my favourite game engine, but if I learn how to 3d model, I might change my mind lolol.
    I used this tutorial here for the procedural level generation:

    I then made my own black and white graphics (hoenstly HEAVY inspiriation from Undertale) and some custom sound effects from Beepbox.
    I already knew how to make projectile and dash effects. Honestly I might revisit this someday and finish it.
    Here's some snapshots of what it looks like!:

    JavaScript Connect 4

    This is actually NOT my first website. When I was in highschool, before I had any cash or credit cards, 
    I made a small website that was hosted on Github Pages.
    On there, I used it as a practice site to learn HTML and test out making apps with JS.
    Now that I have this site, I am going to slowly import some of the work I did there onto here.
    For example, one of the projects I gave myself was making Connect 4 in JS.
    It's a pretty simple task. First, make the basic logic (functions for handling turns, storing current data, checkin for win state)
    Then, you make the necessary assest (in my case, I just made blue square that had circular holes that could fit the yellow or red checker).
    Finally, implement the design in a JS script and make a decent UI in HTML and CSS.
