WORLD X RECIPE
ENTRY: GLOBAL GAME JAM 2025
TEAM SIZE: 12
ENGINE: UNITY
TIMEFRAME: 47 HOURS
STATUS: COMPLETED
> OVERVIEW_
World X Recipe is an arcade-inspired game based on Global Game Jam's 2025 theme, "Bubbles".
The concept formed quickly after the team, fusing the idea of 'bubbles' and 'abduction'.
Soon came the UFO theme, which was fused with the creative vision of it being an arcade game. The result is a meta-like claw machine experience, made in the given 47 hours for the jam.

ABOUT PROJECT
> Why Claw Machine?
With only 2 days to develop the game, scope was the primary constraint. I aimed to create something mechanically simple and immediately readable yet engaging and replayable.
Arcade games became the reference point due to their short loops and clear objectives, which has stood the test of time.
To integrate the jam’s theme of “Bubbles” into gameplay, I looked at how real bubbles behave. Their buoyancy and upward motion can be translated into the game loop of claw machines; grab and lift.
