2012 Global Game Jam Entry: Dawn State
This is our 2012 Global Game Jam Entry “Dawn State” We only had 48 hours to create a game and The theme for this year’s event was an image of an Ouroboros. An ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. So, this is what we came up with, I hope you enjoy it as much as we loved making it. There will be two post mortems to come after we recover from sleep deprivation.
