Jitter Critters is a fun, retro inspired game project submitted for the Game off Game Jam 2021. Set in a mysterious swamp, as the player you explore this small but exciting location, catching a variety of its unique 'critters'! Note them down in your journal and maybe you'll discover something unexpected?

​

I worked on the art for the project as the sole artist and with this game I wanted to challenge myself to create a fleshed out world consisting of a variety of creatures with an exciting environment leaning into vibrant and bizarre visuals. I was determined to rig and animate the world's flying critters and create a distinct logo to welcome people to the game's world. This jam took almost a month to complete being the longest jam I've worked on outside student projects.

​

'Boss Bugs' can be found in the environment that require puzzles to catch. For example, this racer snail critter needs to be ridden by the player and steered into a tree to be stunned. Other puzzles include hide and seek with a Boss moth.
