Two players will have to work together to take down the clown fort... using clowns?! It will be a collaborative game for a VR player and a desktop player. They will need to work together to load and fire a cannon to destroy the enemy fort. The VR player will be tasked with loading the cannon and the desktop player will be aiming and firing the cannon.

Global Game Jam is a international game development event where people all over the world gather to create games together. They are provided with an overarching theme as well as a list of diversifiers to inspire them. The whole point of this is to inspire people to engage with their peers and come together to create something fun in a short amount of time. This year we had 48 hours to create a game. The theme was "Make Me Laugh" and we chose to use the following diversifiers:
- Multidevice (The game uses multiple devices)
- Mouthing Off (All the game sound effects are mouth sounds)
- Lunch Special

I handled the VR interactions within the game. This meant creating an area within the game for the player to navigate and creating the necessary controls for them to move around that space. As well as making a set of hands for the player to pick up and manipulate the ragdoll clowns, in order to complete their task of loading the canon.
