Overview

Counterspell is a game jam for high school students, where teams design and build a complete game in a single day. Our game is built around a twist: the controls are mirrored.

The game

  • The player has to guide their character using reversed controls, so every instinct works against you
  • Each level is filled with obstacles to dodge on the way to the exit, which unlocks the next level
  • Built from scratch in the Godot engine, with a dialogue system made using the Dialogic plugin

Result

Our team won 2nd place at Counterspell Bergen.
