CUB 2: Origins

CUB2: Origins

CUB 2: Origins is a game made in four days for GMTK Game Jam 2025. Is is also, somehow, a prequel to CUB (a game made for Ludum Dare 47, the theme was Stuck in a Loop).  The base principle is the same (create a loop that will make the character move) but the possible moves and the terrain effects are different.

The source code of the game is available on Github under GPL-3.0 license.

A complete playthrough is available on Youtube.

The Music

The music of the game is played by the game itself (there is a small sequencer and a collection off samples to be used for playing sequences) and everything is synchronized with it. Played sounds can have a small not predicable delay, in particular for the web version of the game. This result in sounds sometimes being played a bit early or a bit late and, thus, not exactly in time. I have not been able to improve that in the short time of the Jam. Hopefully, the music will not feel too clumsy to the players.

A small helping hint

You can change the tempo of the music, reducing it makes the character slower and may help to understand exactly what happens in some of the last and most difficult  levels.
