ComboJumper is a grid game. You can move around and push off of walls to ‘jump’ from them. Each jump made without leaving your 3x3 landing cage increases your combo, which increases your jump distance. Besides walls, there are other obstacles littered across the world that enable more diverse movements - chain them all together to reach ever-distant areas.
It is an exploration of expressive movement in a grid, the impact of combos, and a rejection of the hand-authored puzzles I have been so immersed in previously. I wanted to break free, invite the player to make their own problems to solve, goals to achieve. Find their own way to move through the space. As always, there's more I'd like to do with this idea! But I must follow my winds, and so I moved on to other projects.
