Māji

Māji is a tile-based puzzle game about merging potions together to craft the ultimate potion in order to unlock the four magical obelisks and escape prison. You must strategically merge potions on a grid, manage your resources to overcome obstacles and complete the challenge.

This game has been made in 2 weeks for the Pirate Software Game Jam #15 2024. The theme was : “Shadows & alchemy“. It can be played using a keyboard, mouse or controller.

In terms of popularity, my game remained between 9-70th throughout the voting period & finished 9th out of 2 422 entries in a competition of 15 000 participants.🎉🥳

N.B. Imo, the final ratings for this jam were not representative because the rating system was unfair.
You were basically penalysed, if you were voted by more judges.
The rating distribution was as follow:

I was rated by 3 judges (top 74 entries).
