About Rise of the Beast
Overview
Rise of the Beast was created for the 2023 GMTK Game Jam, Roles Reversed. The game took inspiration from duck life. In Rise of the Beast you train your pet to become a beast to take back the animal kingdom! You play through different mini-games to level up the pets Fighting, Agility, and Reaction. Once you feel like you have leveled up your pet enough you can go into coliseums and test your luck to become the Beast.

Extras
How the game was made
The first thing was implementing Vector2 movement and then developed a dialogue system with a clear UI to track the pet's level, train the pet, and send it to animal kingdom tournaments. Each training section featured a different mini-game: a fighting game where players defend against endless waves of enemies, an endless runner for agility training, and a reaction time test. Players use these mini-games to level up their pets, preparing them for competition in the animal kingdom tournaments.
