    Jungle Jym

    Jungle Jym is a collection of animal games created as a means of studying slapstick humor and sports design in games. We used a ground-up approach to the game development pipeline, employing our own custom physics, animation, and procedural visuals. The game has players navigating a Frankensteinian zoo, where graphics programming, game design, and nature are stitched together to create four mini-games: Ragball, Beet Down, Rog Frace, and Turtle Tag.

    By caricaturing the nuances and affordances of animal means of locomotion, we developed an environment where casual gamers and friends were able to take away feelings of joy, laughter, and wonder at the novel animal character controllers we created.
