Knox Game Design had four great entries for the Spring ’20 game jam! The theme was “Keep it Alive”. Let us know if we missed your game and we will add it to the list.
You play as robot making it’s way through a impossible facility filled with mechanical ghosts. You must keep your batteries filled by standing under strange floating light sources, and avoid the ghosts by not staying in their detection for too long.
Click “Watering Can” and “Plant Food” to apply water or plant food to the plant.
Young Cerberus is just 30 days away from being old enough to guard the gates of hell. Keep him alive and entertained long enough, and Hades best friend will serve you well for years to come.
Keep the chickens alive by clicking on the falling apples to prevent them from falling on the chicken’s head. If an apple hits a chicken, then it is knocked out. Additional chickens are awarded after clicking a number of apples. Once all of the chickens are knocked out, the game is over.

Knoxville Game Design invites you to attend the online meeting and podcast recording for Sunday February 10, 2019 at 2pm Eastern Time.
This month’s topic will be game development history featuring QBasic. We will discuss how we got started with game development and the first tools and languages that we used. Levi D. Smith will show how to setup QBasic using DOSBox and a brief overview of the language.
We will also show the Knoxville GameMaker games created for GM48 last month.
3Tris is a mashup of Tetris and Match-3 rules, where the pieces come down from the top and can be rotated and positioned by using WASD (and spacebar to speed up). The twist that makes the colors important is that the mouse is a 2-block cursor that swaps block positions. The only way to clear blocks is to make match-3 combos by moving the blocks around after they touchdown.
The wheel of color is composed of six colors (aka, orenji, ki, midori, ao, and murasaki). Hold the spin button to adjust the spin power. When the wheel stops, your marker is moved to the next color on the board matching the color where the arrow is pointing. Your marker moves left to right and bottom to top of the board.
Any questions on the topic or game development in general are welcome. We will also have time for “show and tell” for anyone who wants to share any game projects that they have been developing.
