Bump Day

Once per year, a very exciting event happens on the second Wednesday in August... Bump Day! The residents of the tiny world Pinn must buckle up for a bumpy ride as their planet is bounced around the galaxy to gather as many resources as possible for the coming year.

Hold the Spacebar to charge up, and release it to launch Pinn into the galaxy.

Use A and D or the Left and Right arrow keys to activate your galactic flippers to bump Pinn around the galaxy. 

Collect metal ore from the mountainous planets, and water at the oceanic planets.  If Pinn falls between the galactic flippers, resources can be spent to upgrade technology for more efficient gathering on the next round!

Built on a custom physics engine that I created during this jam.  All assets were created as a part of the game jam--nothing was downloaded from the internet or created beforehand.

Unfortunately, the WebGL build wasn't working well with the player controls for some reason, so I had to release as a Windows download only.  Sorry about that!

Created over 10 days as a part of the GameDev.tv 2025 Game Jam.
