Lumber Rumble by MRvanderPants
We're a group of ICT students and this is our first game jam ever. We had a great time working on this project.
Our game is about Jack the lumberjack, who just wants to go home, but is hindered by numerous obstacles on his endless way home.
We used the theme minimalism in the controls: the only thing you control is in which lane Jack is walking and what weapon he is using. We also used pixel art for all our graphics, which is minimalistic though very nice.
You control the game with the WASD-keys: W and S to move up or down a lane and A and D to switch to the previous or next weapon. Jack will use the selected weapon whenever he encounters an obstacle, you don't control the actual triggering of the weapon actions. To kill bears, you will need to have the shotgun selected and to chop down tree, you need the axe. You need to have the rope selected and to cross the river by swinging over it. And remember kids, don't stand in bear traps: they will eat you ;)
We hope you guys will enjoy our game!

If you want to improve it, you could make the menus move faster, they are a little annoying for the moment.
Great entry for a first jam !
