While technically an arcade action game, In Defiance of Pavement is ultimately a relaxing, innocent title. Use your thumb to weave a determined flower bud through layers of pavement and moving rocks. Be wary of your stem; it's vulnerable to rocks too!
Features:
- Immediately accessible movement- and avoidance-based gameplay
- Charming crayon-style aesthetic
- Soothing soundtrack courtesy of Robert Shaw
In Defiance of Pavement was created for GBCJam #6 in the span of about 12 hours (plus a couple extra to add audio). The jam's theme was "Hope," which, in addition to informing the game's overall tone, is why you're periodically given glimpses of the sky between the many layers of pavement, and why even the game over message is framed positively.
