The game was developed to be played on mobile, but here's a WebGL version created during the Jam.

Hotato Party is a mobile party game.
Hotato Party invites you to memorable parties where friendship is put to the test. Challenge your friends with hilarious dares and wacky questions. Get ready to laugh and take on unforgettable challenges. Who will survive when everything turns upside down? It's your turn to play, your turn to win!

We also had to adhere to 3 styles:

• Every Player for Themselves: Players should not have direct allied characters. Thus, they must all be against each other.
• Collector: Inclusion of collectibles, rewards available in the game environment.
• My... Friend? Your ally is also your enemy: There should be a sense of camaraderie towards a secondary character, and over time, the player must realize that it brings more negative aspects.

I participated in the development and programming of this game. Here are the main tasks I worked on during the project:

Game Loop Implementation

I implemented everything related to the game loop:

• Player registration at the start of the game.
• Transition to the next players.
• Score management, if the hot potato explodes or if a challenge is successful.
• Sudden death challenges if there is a tie for first place.
• Display of the final ranking.

Bonus Implementation

I implemented the 4 bonuses available in the game. Here's what these bonuses do:

• Flying Shoe: Pass the challenge.
• Hourglass: Get more time.
• Dice: Have a new challenge.
• Gift: Give the challenge to another player.

Hot Potato Phrases Implementation

To incorporate our 3rd style, we wanted to make the hot potato a character in the game and add phrases for it to say, which would be initially kind and encouraging and then become demeaning and mean over the course of the game. Due to the duration of the jam, this was implemented in the player change screen.

• 

  Kind Phrase

• 

  Mean Phrase
