A game my jam team made for #Tasjam Election Special.

I Am Atlas is a meta-physical first person game in which the player must manipulate the environment to complete puzzles.

In this game you will literally have the world at your disposal. It is up to you to use, misuse, and take advantage of our planet to traverse through a range of puzzles. Whatever you do to planet Earth will have consequences. Freeze it, smash it up, drown it; your interactions will affect your own environment, so use it wisely.

A friend and I created this game for a 32-ish hour game jam. Goal was to make a game that could provide positive health outcomes. We took the theme literally and created this asymmetrical multiplayer game. One player drives an ambulance to the hospital Crazy Taxi style, while the other player must care for a heart attack patient in the back of the ambulance. Physics are synchronized between players, so the player in the back will feel every bump and crash. The city is procedurally generated.

I recorded the game on two computers at the same time and overlaid the second player's screen on the top right. The guy in the ambulance doesn't really do anything because I was focusing on driving. That player would usually have a checklist of tasks to complete to prolong the patient's life.

This was our first ever attempt at a multiplayer game and networked physics so it was a complete success considering all assets except the vehicles were created in 32 hours.
