Catila's 20 Second Dash

This is a speedrunning-orientated platformer made in about a week for:

20 Second Game Jam 2023

.....................

The Game:

You will be playing as a speedy feline named Catila making a mad dash to her girlfriend's house after receiving a booty call. Catila will crash through walls and doors, leap over spikes, and massacre wildlife in her libido-fueled charge. Note: This game does not contain explicit content but the implications are strong. The premise is inspired by the well-known meme that starts with "Babe come over".

For each level you have just 20 seconds to reach the goal. By the latter half of the game near perfect execution is required to finish the level, especially if you want the best grade. Often achieving higher grades will require a combination of savviness and skill.

Grades:

S+	S	A	B	C	D	F
≥ 7 Seconds Left	6 Left	5	4	3	2	≤  1

Bonus Challenge Run idea:

Collect the hidden Easter egg and finish the level with an S+

Controls:

Movement	A, D or Left and Right Arrows
Jump	W, Space, or UP
Dash	Left Mouse or Z
Attack	Right Mouse or X
Quick Reset	R
Quit to Title	Q

The Jam:

The 20 Second Game Jam is meant for games that only last 20 seconds in their entirety. Rather than that, this game has a loop that lasts 20 seconds. My original idea for this jam would've adhered more closely to that stipulation but I lost the motivation to continue with that idea and changed course. If you'd like to play a game that's a better example of what this jam is about here's my game for the previous iteration of the jam:

The GB aesthetic:

Around the same time I gave up on my original concept for this jam, I joined this asset pack jam: https://itch.io/jam/pixel-asset-pack-jam-4. For this jam, we were tasked with making assets using the 4 shades of green the original Game Boy could display. So a good chunk of the assets I made for this game are freely available in this pack: https://fava-beans.itch.io/gb-platformer-starter-pack
