Game made with the Construct 3 game engine.
Construct theme: PROCSS 
Science & Technology
Imagine if in one of the jams the theme was 4 items and the restriction in one of the different jams is 3 items
Here’s a potential solution, the game has 3 base items, each of which has 4 forms depending on the situation.
Schrödinger's game, the game has only 3 and 4 items at the same time
He would probably make a slightly different version with 3 and 4 items.
He actually had 4 jams in mind in the first place, but the theme of the 4th jam was "off the grid" and his game was literally on a grid, so he dropped it to 3 jams.
0.5 item babyyyyyy
Vimlark: I really like Game Jams but it very hard and difficult
Also Vimlark: Do 3 at the same time
This would be dope as a mobile game, I know you don't typically revisit game jam games, but man I would play the crap out of that!
@Thomas S no doubt about that
A lot of his games would be good for mobile.
I’m just starting to get the feeling this guy might like game jams
No that’s crazy
Maybe
Where did you learn how to draw these graphics? Did you teach that yourself?
I keep forgetting that mustache and it’s like I’m seeing it for the first time everytime. Best mustache ever
i'm trying to think of a better word to use but i'm struggling, so i'll just say it even though i don't want to: it's cringe. it's a cringe mustache. le epic steam punk mustache. he should be embarrassed for having that on his face.
Is nice, yeah! He's apparently very well practiced at protecting the rest of his face when he applies hairspray :D
Guys it has happened. He said he might have a problem. That's like Mumbo Jumbo saying the redstone is not simple. This is a global threat.
I love seeing game making and hermitcraft crossover
I was gonna say that and i saw yr comment
I heard those three themes, and my immediate idea was "The big bang!" At the beginning, there was nothing; then a strange influence began to embiggen the universe...
Bruh Vimlark can do 3 games jams at the same time, and I can't even handle doing one jam. I need to get better at this whole gamedev stuff
I can't even seem to learn how to program so don't worry about it xD
@ReneDrawsTV Yeah, that is true. I tried using construct once though and I didn't like it, so I think I'll just stick to unity and just try to get better at coding fast.
Well his games Are fun, But he uses construct3 sooooo of course he can do 3 in a smaller timeframe. You could do that to. You just have to Start.
"I'm not addicted, I swear"
Underrated comment
"At least the win screen functions"
*Flashbacks to Ultimate Game Jam*
This was a great game. Reminds me of the lost Vikings somewhat. Also... man do you love restrictions and limitations 😅👍
The locksmith character reminds me of the Keymaker from The Matrix, so it fits quite nicely
This is an excellent game idea that I've never seen before. I think you have something really special here! You really should turn this into a full mobile game.
I can picture Pick Up Prison to be challenging game to speedrun. Great work man!
Great job man, truly inspirational, as always!!
Very cool concept! I can't imagine the stress of that, wow
Super neat game idea and I absolutely love how cartoony the graphics are!
Truly my fave youtube dev. Thanks for all the awesome work you do!
Saw some of this on the streams, they’re always so fun to watch!
I just couldn't stop watching this damn video, it was that awesome, made me want to start creating my own game.
You make this look so simple.
Thanks for the awesome content.
you improved very much :D I love watching your videos and how you create games!
This brings back memories of the early 2000s game jam scene; we used to do yearly jams with like two to three themes, and several categories of restrictions (each with two to three rules). The first time I did a Ludum Dare, I was like, "uhhhh, where are the rest of the rules and restrictions?" -- Nice work, Vim!
Honestly this game seems really fun would love to see more levels added to it
Imagine being on a time crunch on a 2 week jam
that was cool, it would be awesome it'll have a full game tho.
Just watched Shawshank Redemption and saw this it’s...it’s...beautiful
Love your channel keep up thy great work!
Love the content Vimlark!
That's pretty cool, it kind of makes me think of the The Lost Vikings in how each character has a speciality.
I love your vids please continue making them :D
Love the game, maybe one of your best.
This could make a fanastic full game. Add in a little more story, refine and expand the concept.
This was a great game. Reminds me of the lost Vikings somewhat. Would like to know more about game rules. Thanks.
the game turned out great!
I use Construct 3 as well and I wanted to know what Interface Theme you used it looks so cool!
I hope you make a sequel to this game with more goblin skills and one thing I would love is if instead of the scrolling killing your spike wall was following you so right click would give you some spare time
I wish I had 1/10 of my old motivation to make games again
With some flushing out this would totally be releasable! But that goes for almost all of your jams so..
Damn... I kinda want to do my own game jam...
How it ties with "at the beggining there was nothing"? Also, as always, really good job with the game!
i think he said the lack of prisoners is the nothing. i worded that badly, but basically its a little bit of a stretch saying that since you start out with one prisoner then collect the rest, you are beginning with nothing:)
I hope you feel better soon Kirby!
This reminds me of a similar mouse-controlled game, Fat Cat by Nitrome! It's more of a shoot 'em up than a puzzle game, but the autoscrolling mechanic is pretty similar. It was a Flash game, so I don't know how easily you could find it, but it was certainly fun to play!
The scary maze game also uses the mouse to control the player over the level.
Dude amaaaazing job! What engine does he use?
Awesome game jams.
It feels like, a more micro managed lemming game. Quite nice idea
fun fact: I was desperately trying to find a way to snap something to a grid just as this video was published.
“I can stop at anytime”
Birth of a genre: "Party scroller" / "escape scroller"
you can go through walls and doors and arrows and enemies if your mouse goes fast enough
Hey Vimlark, you should do an isometric game! (I don tknow if construct can do it)
I saw the title and I was like,
“Vimlark... what did you do this time?”
I’m a little sad you couldn’t go for a Big Bang theme. It’d fit so well, but idk how you’d make it blocky :(
Let me ask something. Did ur friends play any role in ur gamedev journey???
i din't play but your video tells me how much stress you are at the last minutes
I think it's about time you sign up for Game Jam Anonymous.
thanks to twitch you have a million mwg skins
the walls and art remind me of Enter the Gungeon
I would make a game abaut a garage sale where you only can have 3 items on sale and a strange presence oscures parts of text
You never learn, do you? 😅
I think the mouse should snap to the grid
You should try coding with scratch
The lost vikings has the same mechanic
8:31 those sound effects XD
You asked what games had a similar idea of picking up characters with a scrolling camera and that reminded me a bit of the famous Danball game Stick Rangers. I would link it but I think youtube deletes comments with links in them. It's a great game, an oldie but a goodie. In it you drag your stick men around collecting items and weapons. Flinging them around the screen in order to protect them but also keep them attacking certain groups of enemies. I highly recommend it.
Do you use construct2 or construct3
Where the hell are you getting these game jams
This reminds me of old game Vikings
his addiction is getting out of control
3 Jams at the Same Time! Fuckin-A!
Yo I'm a big fan keep it up for shor
Did anyone see the godot icon!? 9:06
he admited it, he has a GameJam Problem ;P
This might seem bad but are you still working on the project monkeys with guns???
Guys it's playable in your web browser he doesn't need to make a mobile port.
(He also doesn't need to for the same reason he's not making a ps4 port. It's just a game jam game.)
1:06 i suggested "Downgrades" for LD48
I think I saw a Godot logo at 9:08 at the right side of the screen
secret easter egg
So i'm not the only one!
what widget does he use?
That's not a world record?
*"Ok. Ok, i have a problem..."*
neat video
Here I am making games with notepad lol
DISCLAIMER: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". There was no space in the beginning, but that cannot mean there was nothing. Creation out of nothing, but there was the Existence Himself (if you know His Name)
3:24
All i see is amongus crewmate and i hate it
also wth i can barely come up with something for one theme without any restrictions meanwhile here you are taking on 3 AT ONCE? XD
I don't think he will see this because I was late but Crossing road uses that mechanic I might have forgotten he name because I'm not too sure but it's kinda right for a game I haven't played in 7 years
I stopped playing it when i was 3
You won a suscriptor mate !
@noobo. nope
You used Google Translate?
Mobile version pls
Thats hard
You don't have a problem.
It's smart for you to do jams.
1) You hone your skills
2) You make money off of the youtube ads and off of your streams bc people like to watch that
This is your best
madlad
bro i want to make games .i picked game maker engine but now i am stuck, i don't know where to start. i looked lot of video and its hard to learn language do you have any suggesition's .
Is this available on mobile?
It's playable in your web browser he doesn't need to make a mobile port.
(He also doesn't need to for the same reason he's not making a ps4 port. It's just a game jam game.)
It's weird how there are only 73 connected and 1k likes after 17 hours
Jam man

Yoy my favorite time
Man.. again? Thats how looks running out of ideas but on the contrary xD
