GAME DESIGN

SOLO PROJECT
MAY 2025
CONTEXT
Kangaroo Court is chaotic party-debate courtroom roleplaying game where players must argue their case using the most absurd evidence with even more absurd reasoning.
The game began as a rapid prototype for the UC Davis Game Dev & Arts Club 2025 Spring Game Jam. Originally built around a themed prompt, the project quickly evolved through playtests into a focused party game centered on player storytelling and group dynamics. After the jam, I continued developing the game independently.
