Looking for Beans

Looking for Beans is a game made for the Global Game Jam 2024, developed in cooperation with another developer. For this year's theme, "make me laugh," we aimed to create something that would capture the humour of internet culture. While browsing the diversifiers, we stumbled upon the "beans" prompt, and after some brainstorming, we decided to bring a well-known meme to life. After all, memes are often a great source of laughter, and we wanted to tap into that shared humour.

In the game, players are tasked with finding as many cans of beans as possible within a limited time. Set in a dark labyrinth, the challenge is heightened by the need to follow intriguing audio cues to locate the hidden cans. These sound clues add a layer of playfulness to the otherwise eerie environment, keeping the tone lighthearted and funny despite the maze's ominous setting. The combination of absurdity, meme culture, and amusing sound design creates a humorous and engaging experience that fits perfectly with the jam’s theme.
