Afrogalypse is a bullet hell-esque score attack game where you are driving to avoid an apocalypse of robotic frogs. You gain hit points when you pass road signs, which can be exchanged for a boost and a brief period of invincibility.
You can download the game or play it online at itch.io or the GitHub releases page.
All controls are mappable. Keyboard, mouse button, and joypad input are supported. Joypad input has not been tested on real hardware.
| Action | Input |
|---|---|
| Steer Left | A |
| Steer Right | D |
| Brake | Shift |
| Boost | Space |
| Pause | Escape |
See etc/builds/readme.md for documentation on building the game.
The game was created as my first solo game jam project and an entry to the GMTK Game Jam 2023 - a 48-hour game jam hosted by Game Maker's Toolkit with a secret theme that is revealed when the jam starts.
The theme for 2023 was 'Roles Reversed'. My initial idea was a reverse horror game where you play as a monster that can't move when seen and catch an explorer. This idea was scrapped after several hours of development when it was clear that it wouldn't be feasible to finish before the deadline and probably wouldn't be very fun to play.
I decided to make a more arcade style game, which would be more enjoyable and could be finished before the deadline. I settled on an inversion of Frogger where you play as a car and have to avoid frogs.
Crashing into frogs felt a little cruel, so I replaced them with harmful robotic frogs. This increased the sense of danger, and helped tie the game together with an aesthetic.
The game received the following results from 14 ratings:
| Criteria | Rank / 6,839 | Score | Raw Score |

| Overall | #2432 | 3.118 | 3.333 |
| Creativity | #3904 | 2.739 | 2.929 |
Rankings may include joint placements. The score is adjusted from the raw score based on the number of ratings compared to other entries in the jam. The exact method used is not known.
For each rating, enjoyment, creativity, and presentation were rated from 1 to 5 stars:
