Jumbo Throne
Jumbo Throne is a game where you have to build your own go-kart. You have no money and no parts. Just a blueprint!
You can get money by doing chores around the neighbourhood.
After almost giving up on this game on day 2, I somehow managed to pull it off. I couldn't finish all the things I had planned, but it turned out ok. I spent the most time on the South Park inspired art style.
At the end, after you completed the go-kart, there was supposed to be a race level but I had no time to finish it. Mabye I might do it in a post-jam version.

@sam-machell I appreciate it. It was quite a task to implement the 2.5D since I haven't done it before. But it isn't that uniqe :) It was inspired from the South Park series.
@drtizzle I know, it would have been nice to have a race level at the end and some more tasks you could do to earn money. About the controls...I know, but it was too late when I noticed it and didn't have enough time to redo that part of the code. Thank you ;)
@goupixm Your message was received with many thanks. At the and of the jam I was quite insecure about this game since you couldn't do very much in it and it wasn't very intuitive to play. You made me feel a lot better. Thank you :)
If you did work on this post dare, I'd change everything to mouse/touch control, and drop the wasd/arrows + space thing for the mower.
From the first round being a loss ( I won, but with negative time ) - I just mowed everywhere I walked to collect the berries, as it had no impact on walking speed that I could tell.
I guess the trash diving and dog walking weren't in this one, but it's a cool concept.
Would actually be pretty cool as a mobile game, particularly if the movement is changed up ( the main character as path finding , no space/wasd as before )
Oh , and the race part could be really cool. If the more you earned , the better the peices for the cart, like red-bull soapbox race style!
When I play, i very want to see some easter eggs because of game style. May be add some hidden notes, that you can read on the map?
Cheers!
