2 Meter Rule

Game Treatment

Stop the needy crowd from getting to close! Enforce the 2 meter rule the only way you know how to... with a giant pole!

This game is a wave-based survival, where you must keep away waves of people trying to encroach your personal space with a large metal pole. Survive in a world of a post-apocalyptic society where only fast-food chains survive and eat borgers to get revived.

Idea Source & Theme

The idea came from the theme Distance and the community code of conduct "Inappropriate non-consensual physical contact, or unwelcome attention of any kind." 

This rule stuck out for me for being unusual and not something you would see in a regular code of conduct, and sharing them directly after the theme stuck it in my mind as it annoyed me that it had to be mentioned twiced (a link was shared). This helped me develop the idea enforcing the "no-physical-contact"  with the distancing and the COVID-19 pandemic we are facing at the moment. 

You are enforcing the theme of Distance with your pole, making sure you stay away from social gatherings and keeping away the unwanted attention.

Controls

WASD to move, Space to jump, Shift to run and Left Mouse Button to hit with your pole. Survive as long as you can and collect Borger to regenerate health.

NOTICE

This game IS for a jam and due to my busy schedule, only had 9 hours to work on it. Please acknowledge that its FAR from a finished game and is more of a mechanic prototype than an actual game. The gameplay is surely lacking, but the artwork and animations make up for it :3
