Description
Oxyjet is a team arena game where two spaceships “sumo-wrestle” for oxygen. Each ship is controlled by two teammates - each with different roles. The hectic gameplay is simple but requires teamwork, quick thinking and tactics to master.
History
Early historyThe team met a Nordic Game Jam in 2016, where the first version of Oxyjet was made along 182 other games. Oxyjet received awards from a jury that comprised Ed Valiente (Nintendo), Jesse McCree (Blizzard), Rami Ismail (Vlambeer), Eva Gaspar (Abylight) and Jess Hider (Epic Games). The awards were Best Multiplayer and Best Game Feel, which convinced us that Oxyjet was something special. Since then, we have been hard at work making Oxyjet even better.
After thatOnly a couple of people on the team knew each other when the project started, but after a successful weekend at Nordic Game Jam, it was obvious that the development of Oxyjet had to continue beyond this first prototype. We decided to take the game to Nordic Game Conference 2016, to see if the game did well outside of the game jam environment, and if so, we would continue working on the game until it was ready for a full release. The reception at Nordic Game Conference was better than expected, which strengthened our confidence in the game and kicked off the production of Oxyjet.
