Buffoonery
4-person Cooperative Tetris
In order to appease the Mad King, four court jesters by the names of Sir Tet, Madame Pac, The Illusive Galag, and Kevin must work together to ‘Make Me Laugh’. The jesters MOVE, ROTATE, and STACK to fit into different positions. This may please the King, but only for a moment. So begins the buffoonery...
The Game
Buffoonery is a 4-player cooperative Tetris game made with Unity C# at the Global Game Jam 2024. This was one of the most polished games that I have been a part of for Global Game Jam.
The scoping of this project was extremely well-managed. We were able to create a simple game design that we were able to get working relatively early in the jam. This let us pursue a level of polish that usually does not happen during game jams.

The Team
The Lessons
I developed a level design editor tool that allowed all team members to create levels for the game, making it easier for everyone to contribute to the design process. Additionally, I handled the coding and design of all the menus and UI elements, while also creating and designing the environmental art layout.
