Teuthis 94 was made for the FishFest game jam. It's a simple board-gamey game in which you control 4 different pieces on a board, each with their own properties.

I'm particularly proud of the vibe of this game. Underwater, shiny pieces and bubbles, combined with the audio samples I used gave it its own feel. It's the only game I've made that has this weirdly dark atmosphere, I think.

Game design wise, idk. I'm not very proud of it. I think I originally wanted to make it some kind of RPG or something, with turn based combat. I eventually made it some weird chess-like. The game isn't very intuitive, which was its main criticism. Ranked pretty well in the jam, though.

I don't consider it my proudest work, but about a year after I made it I heard that a friend introduced it to his brother, who liked it. He found a tactic that allowed him to survive for about 50 rounds, which I didn't think was possible.

Hearing random stories of people enjoying your games really motivates you to continue making them.

Play it here!
