Welcome... to the first Kubus game jam. Here, create the best games of all time, dress in pajamas, and drink the GOOD juice.
The theme for the jam is JOHNNY FANGAME. We make a game based on the Johnny series by Kimberly Kubus. (play them at https://kimberlykubus.com/). The Johnny games are made in Game Maker 8, but you can use any engine you want, also make the game of any length you want, the theme is very loose - the more it is of your style, the better. The theme is so loose, feel free to ignore it if you have any interesting idea brewing! :-)

What makes a "Johnny game"?
- natural childlike playfulness
- never cynical and ironic
- every game has unique platforming mechanics
- a specific vibe you pick and stick to, even if the environments and obstacles change
- Johnny's long nose is used to grab on platforms
- many many enemies in some levels :-)
- glitches are features! and sometimes they are necessary to beat some levels
- puzzle levels where its not immediately clear where the exit is
- don't actually follow these, do whatever you want, these are just some Johnny "staples", but the greatest kubus staples is constantly changing up things and messing with your expectations :-)
