This was my first game related team project, made for an university exam, it was a good opportunity to improve our overall comunication and teamwork skills. A Ribbit Away is a 2D platform, with pixel art graphics and a linear progression. There are 3 distinct levels, each one is characterized by new mechanics that get progressively more complex. From a design perspective, sound and graphics also change according to the character’s story progression. We also had the opportunity to let people try the demo at a local videogame related event; this allows us to get useful tips on how to make unique ideas more interesting through gameplay mechanics.
