‘Mari! Mari! Mari!’ is a top-down 2D run-and-gun game, heavily inspired by the Pocky and Rocky series, developed for 2024’s Touhou Pride Game Jam.
my contributions this time around mostly lied in programming and design; major items I tackled included (but are not limited to) the implementation of the love meter mechanic, implementation of audio management (using FMod, a first for me), menu implementations, shot-types, and level design.
this specific entry received a lot of confusion upon release; if i could fix one issue with this, it’d definitely be the lack of a tutorial stage to fully explain how the main mechanic works. on that note, the initial jam version (and also the only version released) has a lot of rough edges, i’d really like to go back and polish things up at some point (with the rest of the original team’s blessing or involvement, of course).
