Sushi to Go: GMTK Gamejam 2022

Overview

Sushi to Go is a platformer where you create your own platforms to help a tiny sushi roll travel as far as possible on his journey to find the person who crafted him to life.

You play as Maki, a small but determined sushi roll trying to reunite with the chef who created him. Along the way, you must dodge attacks from diners’ chopsticks and chefs’ knives, while also avoiding falling onto the dirty floor—nothing ruins fresh sushi faster than dust.

A mischievous “dice of god” constantly influences your fate. It may grant you new platforms to progress or shield yourself… but it can also destroy your existing platforms, sending you tumbling to the ground. Every run becomes a test of adaptability—and luck.
