Circle Island
Circle Island is a survival puzzle game that requires the player to maintain the ecosystem of the island to be able to survive and escape the island. The game was made by myself over a 48 hour period at Hectic Game Jam 6 and was awarded Best Art, Audio, Concept and Technical Skills.
I found in my experience there are a lot of games about building and destroying environments but none challenged players to maintain the game world. The design focus of the Circle Island was to challenge and shape the player's thinking of the game world requiring them to learn the flow and structure of the ecosystem of the island if they were to survive.
