We participated in the 2023 GMTK Game Jam, where we had 48 hours to make a game under the theme "Roles Reversed". We made a game about being a corrupt soccer referee, where you play as the ref to mess with the soccer players to affect the match's outcome. We used TypeScript and the Excalibur game engine.

The game, Bad Ref, on Itch:
