Our professor has given us the lab and one very important task for the big school project. Build elements from scratch by collecting protons, electrons and neutrons. We can do that right? Maybe? 

Well.... There may have been a small radiation spill and what is that sound?? And why is there a timer???

Quarky is a 3-button game built for the "3 Button Game Jam" hosted by 8 Bit to Infinity (big thanks to them) around the theme "Tiny".  Honestly, what is tinier than the building blocks of the entire universe?

Synthesize, your way through 5 elements, Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Carbon and Neon, each one a little trickier than the last. 

Controls

  • A = Rotate left
  • D = Rotate right
  • Space = Boost

This is my first game and a proof of concept. I have spent my career in design and development and it feels really good to finally point it at something I love. Huge thanks to my partner for playtesting and for letting me bounce ideas off them for a week of late nights.
