I'd like to present "You can't repair bad", by "the QA team of doom"

The theme of the Game Jam was "Repair". We interpreted this as having to repair a broken game. You are a fresh QA tester and you have to test a broken game, until you get so frustrated that you are "game over". The game presents mazes that are unsolvable, unless you change the logic of the keycards from a hidden debug menu (accessible with ENTER or TAB). I'm particularly proud of the mazes that are completely randomly generated.

The game was written in JavaScript, using the Phaser engine

This was my first time participating in the Global Game Jam, and I must say GGJ is a very different kind of experience. You're on a location (not online), in this case in Amsterdam, at Reaktor (https://globalgamejam.org/2020/jam-sites/reaktor-hq). You're face to face, there is a much heavier focus on team work. There is a much wider diversity of skills (not just programmers but also e.g. composers, sound designers, 3D artists)

I'm happy how it turned out, given that it was a completely ad hoc team.

To be honest, I'm happy we had a game at all

Do you think the game would be more fun if
.. the mazes were more varied in later levels?
.. if we tuned the frustration counter
.. something else?

I probably won't develop the game further, but if there is a small improvement I can make I'll still do it.
