Motif

Motif was my submission project for the GMTK Game Jam 2025. I made a puzzle game where you have to get to the flag at the end of each level by activating different coloured musical blocks. You place down notes on a looping scoresheet, combining colours on the scoresheet can let you activate specific tiles, and you can move the tiles by placing a note on the move row and the specific colour.

These mechanics let me make lots of different levels. The alternating blocks design was inspired by Celeste's B-Side tape puzzles, where you time your movement and jump between alternating blocks. I wanted to expand upon that, letting the player pick the timing of the blocks.

I created all the assets in this game within a few days and placed in the top 100 for the creativity catagory.
