 JOLT is a Racing / Platformer / Party game hybrid, where players can create  their own robot and then compete online up to 4 players in frantic racing action. 


The game is available on PS4, Wii U, Steam and Switch. 

The game was developed by Cooply Games and during its  development; aside from outsourcing the sound, all of the content was  made by myself and a programmer. I was the sole designer and created the  concept, the gdd and all levels. I was also the sole artist so I  created all the assets, animations and UI elements. This is definitely something I'm really proud of; however, we were struggling to maintain development and I left once the game went into early access to start at  TT Games.

​

JOLT focuses on platforming racing, where the player who leads dictates the camera. If a player falls behind (and consequently off-screen) they are eliminated.


The game features two main mechanics; the JOLT and the  VOID. The JOLT is a charged boost that can be used to jump ahead, activate traps or use shortcuts. The VOID is a post-elimination revenge mechanic, that randomly generates power-ups to inflict upon the  remaining racers.

​

The game has multiple game modes that make use of  these mechanics, including a Light Mode (where the player in first  position has a light attached to them) and The Eliminator (where every player is placed on to a conveyor belt and must dodge objects to not get crushed).
