SHOP OR DROP

SHOP OR DROP is a combination of ability-based ladder-climbing on one side with bejewled mechanics to charge said abilities on the other side of the screen. It was created in an internal Game Jam at Zürich University of the Arts (ZHdK) by 14 students over the course of 3 days.

CONCEPT

The  basic concept is that the player is able to "shop" for weapons and special equipment on a TV (the right side) and use them to progress on the social Ladder (the left side). There are Enemies that are trying to out "climb" the player and obstacles that have to be avoided.
