Icon Smash

Icon Smash is a game about making icons smash... or smashing them together. Smash two icons that are part of a build combo, and you get a new icon! Keep smashing icons to see what combinations you can make and smash your way to resarch.

The goal of the game is to complete your research, but you need to smash the right icons together to do that research. But, remember, each icon takes up precious system memory, and, if you run out, you can't smash new icons.

Maybe there's a way to get more memory...

This game was made using Raylib-cs over 2 days for Jackie Code's game jam. The theme was "REUSE", and my implementation of that theme is the fact that you reuse all the icons as you smash them together.

All of the code and assets were created by me during those two days (that's why all the icons look so rubbish). No generative AI was use to make assets for this game, though I did Google how to do something in Raylib and Google's search AI gave me an answer.

The answer was wrong.

ENJOY!

PS. it turns out getting Raylib-cs to build for web is a real ball-ache. I think it works fine, but if not, there is a Windows download. I promise I didn't put any viruses in there.

PPS. More than a few people have gotten stuck with combinations. I appreciate there are more dead ends than there should be due to my lack of time, skill, and other excuses. So here's the list of combos as per the game jam entry.
