Chomps Big Day Out
3rd Person kaiju arcade game
Go on a rampage as CHOMP! Destroy buildings and earn points. Manage your stamina carefully and ear as many points as possible before time expires.
Creating Chomps Big Day Out
Created for Mini Jam 81, Chomps big day out is a 3rd person arcade game where the player takes control of a kaiju attacking a city. Players must damage and destroy buildings using Chomps 3 attacks, Bite, swipe and charge. Each attack uses stamina and the player must manage this stamina carefully as to avoid chomp getting tired. When the timer runs out, its not game-over yet! chomp takes his last stand and unleashes all of his power. Allowing the player to attack with no stamina drain for a short amount of time in a bonus round, bonus time can be increased by finding pickups around the city.
Chomps was my first Solo game jam, and was a great lesson in managing scope and developing a concise game loop.
Future plans
Chomps Big Day Out is not currently in development. However i'd love to revisit it soon and improve on my level design, alongside some additional mechanics to make world interaction more interesting.
