Jukaya's History

Origins

JUKAYA began as a prototype project developed by Sean and Alexander in their free time, inspired by the genre classics of the 64-bit era. Much of the core gameplay from this prototype have survived into the finished product.

Extreme makeover

Shortly after the team began a course in marketing at Kristiania University College, the game saw rapid development between August and September of 2018. The game's visuals and setting were shifted from a sci-fi action game into a Vaporwave tribute, efforts spearheaded by Sivert and Lars. At that point, JUKAYA was intended to include a number of levels and a boss encounter, though development on these features had to take a back seat due to coursework overload.

Genre shift

As time went on, Sivert modified the game into its endless runner design, doing most of the coding and visual design to accommodate this change.

Features

• Pilot the Vaporwing and blast the hell out of weird and wonderful pixellated enemies
• A dynamic difficulty that increases the longer you play
• Bask in the timeless aesthetic of a surreal Vaporwave world, designed by pixel artist Sivert Natanael Hjortland
• Experience the haunting, nostalgic soundtrack by Norwegian Vaporwave artist YIFFØ
• Navigate an archaic desktop, complete with weird and suspect programs that may or may not give you nightmares
