Game Jam 2017 Theme: Home
​​
H-O-H.me or H2Ome is an adventure platformer game, featuring a single drop of water as the protagonist. The name H2Ome plays around with the compound of water H2O, as well as spelling the word, Home, the theme of 2019 Global Game Jam. The core mechanic of the game is very simple, but complex enough to demonstrate the true nature of water. The protagonist, a water blob, can change state into either an ice cube or gas, as well as changing back to liquid form, depending on the game objects in the level. There are several elements in the game players can interact with to change the state, such as heat waves, light sources, etc. Players have to play around with the different states of water in order to go through the level, while trying to avoid obstacles and enemies in the game. There are different end points depending on which water state the player ended up with towards the end.
