During Shark Jam, I was actually working in parallel on a separate game and had a lot of progress on it. I also took a break and made a game for 0h game jam.<\/p>\n <p>For Shark Jam, I had the theme down and the title (was gonna do Darwinshark), then when it came to gameplay, I had no idea what to make. After working on the intro, I realized everything afterwards was going to be lame unless I figured out something brilliant very quick, and I didn&#8217;t. Basically, I failed because I had too high expectation about what it was going to be.<\/p>\n <p>So that&#8217;s my failed attempt at Shark Jam. Too bad, it had a nice intro.
