This was an ambitious project that never quite hit the quality mark nor was well balanced! However, we were inspired by games with node-like traversal through the world, where the player is presented with choice-events. We wanted combat to be abstracted into a simple game, so went for a matching-pair game, where matching cannons would damage the enemy and matching ingredients would provide ingredients for the pizza making part of the game. Some of the choice-events were resolved by creating pizzas, which consisted of a timing-based game where you dropped ingredients onto a spinning pizza plate.
Both mini games ended up lacking in the fun factor, but ultimately for a weekend we were happy with what we were able to deliver. Brainoid did a great job with a silly sound track!
