My first game ever, programming in Scratch to get a better understanding of development as a whole. Submission for the Beginner's Jam Winter 2024. Decided I wanted to start this and try when there was only 3 days left of the jam so I cut a lot of ideas out and this is the basic bare bones result. First time using minimal tutorials to create anything. Only used them to figure out the scrolling background concept, everything else is by trial and error so many of the mechanics and results are jank. Enjoy the brief experience!

Hi CallsignSH3P!

Congrats on your first game! Seeing a project through from start to finish is a great learning experience and a huge boost to confidence. You should be proud of what you have done here.

Getting all this to work without a hitch is a huge accomplishment. The art is great and the brief story of the game still has some meaning to it. The bear knocking on the door with his nose was very cute.

Well done! Looking forward to see what you do in the future.
