Cyberpunk Game Jam 2.0 entry: Prototype Amber (made in QB64)

[Hevanafa]

Hi everyone, I just set up a new account just to post this 

I made a run & gun game Prototype Amber for the Cyberpunk Game Jam 2.0 held on itch.io: https://itch.io/jam/cyberpunk-game-jam-2

I've been a fan of QB64 for a while now & I think I should make something with it (to prove that I'm a fan ahaha)

Since the jam time is so short (only around 1 week), I could only make:

• 3 short waves,
  
• a few sprites, and
  
• the arcade physics system
  

As for the background, it's AI generated for now. I want to develop it further to see how far I can push (QB64) in the run & gun genre

Here's the link to the game: https://hevanafa.itch.io/cyberpunk-jam-2025-submission





Let me know what you think about how the game feels, the physics and any bugs you might find 

Thanks for checking it out!

Edit: Fixed broken screenshots

Nice work in a week, two 'bugs' that I noticed is the player being able to go out of bounds and the explosion particle not spawning some times. You could also improve the jump physics by making it smoother, would be nice for your future platformer game. SFX, song and sprites look great.

Nice job!
A few things : As Bhsdfa said, the player is able to go out of bounds.
When the player moves left and right, the animation is missing some drawn parts I think.
After Wave 3, it bugged and a few seconds apart, there are no monsters and I reach the next wave
All I did was to jump over an enemy to kill it.

Hope that helps !

@Delsus
is your attachment image a virus?
Some our QB64pe_citizens are very sensible to this virus issue!

@Hevanafa
Is it shared only for Windows users?


If it is so, I need both install wine on this Lubuntu Notebook  both take a look on a Windows PC for your work.

Hello, sorry I just opened the forums today.. been working on this, then jumped to another game jam  ahah

Yes, I only built the Windows version because of the time constraint at that time

So yea, kinda postponing this game because platforming and arcade physics are a lot harder than I thought

@Hevanafa
yeah I have run it on a Windows machine!
Really good.
When I use a frame for messaging an output (like you have done with the danger frame) I prefer to have all output message output in this (in your screenshot you can see wave X in part out of red frame.

Well now you have a base for your arcade engine (library) for re-use the code for other challanges!
