A Pixel Carol is a 2D endless runner game, based on the Xmas tale of an evil Scrooge. Survive three festive levels, avoiding as many obstacles as possible. Enjoy the rush of presents and mistletoe as Scrooge tries to avoid all that he was, is and will become.

​

This game was designed, built and released over a 4-day duration for the 12 Devs of Xmas Game Jam 2020. The theme for this jam was "YOU ARE THE VILLAIN", meaning to develop an Xmas game based from the bad guys perspective. This was accomplished by choosing Ebenezer Scrooge as the main character, journeying through the levels of Xmas Past, Present and Future in an endless running platformer avoiding all kinds of obstacles to survive as long as possible.

This was my frst attempt of a Game Jam, as well as being the host to give myself and other Indie Graduates a fun little project to work on throughout the Xmas period. We all agreed for the Jam to be "Chilled" meaning develop more for our personal gain, instead of competition. This allowed us all to apply the best of our abilities and knowledge possible to a fresh game project and add it to our growing collections. I hope to keep up these type of game jams in the near coming future.
