Design Background:
"The Punny Adventure of I" is a game created by our trio for the 2024 Global Game Jam. Our design goal centers around the theme of the game—“Make Me Laugh”—aiming to create a work that is both entertaining and creative.
I considered the diversity of terrain and the inclusion of hidden areas during the design process. I hope that this design will provide players with more opportunities for exploration and enjoyment while playing.
The game's levels can be divided into four mini-boss rooms and one main boss room. To provide players with a richer gaming experience, each room features unique terrain designs and multiple hidden exploration areas, allowing players to fully explore and enjoy the adventure. For example, in the second room, the exploration area is located in the bottom left corner; if players do not make use of this area, they may miss out on conversations with NPCs, losing some interesting gameplay experiences. The third room also includes maze-like designs, offering players additional challenges.

Our team collected a wide variety of puns and, through in-depth discussions and repeated communication among members, categorized them into several main types, including funny jokes, bad jokes, and game development-related jokes. Based on the characteristics of each enemy, players need to observe and think critically to understand their comedic triggers, then use the collected puns to engage in battle. This aspect is one of the highlights and unique features of the game.
