This project was my submission for the 2024 GMTK Game Jam.

 

• Second time participating in a game jam solo, the jam theme was "Built to Scale"

• Beat Box is a rhythm game in which the player must manipulate a cube to fit variously sized and placed squares that appear on screen with the timing of the music

• The player can manipulate the width and height of whichever side of the cube is facing the screen, they can also rotate the cube to quickly switch between sizes

• "Built to Scale" in this case referred to altering the cube in order to fit the "scale" of the squares.

• First time making a rhythm game and was thus a very interesting challenge both in the design and development.

• Required building a custom system for creating the song map, and problem solving how to set up the notes on screen so they match in time to the music
