This is my submission for Deynum's "The completion jam". It is a puzzle-platformer about a kid and his football. The theme for the jam was "Out of place" and the game ties into that by making a little boy play football in a factory. That is not too usual, and the boy is obviously out of place and HAS to get out.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

IT SEEMS LIKE PRESSING "R" IN THE WEBGL-VERSION CRASHES THE GAME ON SOME COMPUTERS, WHILE FOR MOST IT WORKS FINE. IT SEEMS THIS IS ONLY AN ISSUE ON LEVEL 7. IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, YOU HAVE TO EITHER: 

  • NOT RESTART THE LEVEL USING THE "R"-BUTTON, INSTEAD PAUSE -> MAIN MENU -> LEVEL SELECT -> LEVEL, TO RELOAD THE LEVEL 
  • PLAY ON THE WINDOWS-VERSION, WHICH SEEMS TO WORK. 

THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE PRESENT IN ALL BROWSERS.

Story: You are a boy playing some football (soccer for Americans) near an abandoned factory, when you suddenly fall down into a hole that leads into the factory. You must get out, and ýou only have yourself and your football as help!

Credits: (More detailed credits coming later)

All art and programming were made by me, Freezerbot, during the duration of the jam.

The main menu music come from Incompetech.com

All sound effects come from Freesound.org

Known bugs:

  • The Options-menu in the pause menu doesn't do anything.
  • I didn't have time to make cables for the buttons for all levels. 
  • R-Button crashes the game on WebGL-version on some computers.
  • Weird noise right after the win-sound that should not be there.

Have fun!

I appreciate all feedback!

i like the idea, but what ties it to the theme?

Wow, fast comment. The theme is in the name and the story mostly, also the art. The idea is that the boy is out of place, since he is in a factory. He should not be playing football there. The goal of the game is to fix this and make him play football somewhere else. :)
