Hi all. Here is my (unfinished) submission to the Jam this time.

You are a monstrous banana peel that is out to ruin everyone's day. Move about the sidewalk using the arrow keys and try to position yourself underneath the 'feet' of passers-by to slip them over. Get as many people as possible before time runs out :) There are hipsters (brown), busy executives (black), joggers (blue) and soccer mums (pink) to trip over, and each person gives a different number of points.

Thanks for playing!

I originally wanted to enter the compo this time, but a combination of using a game engine I am not familiar with (Unity), choosing to do 3D, not 2D, and having some other commitments this weekend meant that I wasn't able to finish this game. It is in a playable state, however there is not intro splash screen or instructions, and nothing happens when the timer counts down (you have to exit the game using ctrl+alt+delete sorry!).

The banana model and the fire hydrant model were made by me in Blender in the 72 hours. The banana was fully rigged and ready to be animated, but I lost motivation at the end of the time limit. I also made some doors and background models, but removed them from this version. The people's voices were also recorded by me. The background music and banana slip sounds were not though, so I opted out of the 'audio' category.

If I had more time and hadn't lost motivation, I would have liked to add some textures to my 'people' (I originally wanted to have full body models, but walk animations are hard to get right!), as well as making the pavement and sidewalk look much more interesting with more models and stuff in the background and foreground.

Thanks for playing, and I look forwards to your feedback!!!
