Context
In the vibrant context of the Gacha Game Jam organized by Ubisoft, a unique and special event awaited participants. Distinguished by its annual tradition of imposing rules and constraints on every participating group, this year's challenge bore an additional layer of creativity. Notably, the theme for each group was inspired by the year-long celebration of the emoji's anniversary.
Objectives
Driven by creative constraints, our gaming venture offers a unique challenge. We've infused our game with the playful essence of a goat, utilizing emojis like the goat, rainbow, and controller. These emojis aren't just for show; each plays a vital role. The goat emoji represents our protagonist, while the rainbow adds magic to gameplay, and the controller symbolizes player control.
Within our constraints, catering to 10 players led us to develop a party game. Players, embodying vibrant goats with emojis, compete in various mini-games, embracing competition and camaraderie.
What we decided to do
In the collaborative decision-making process, we arrived at the clear and exciting choice of developing a party game. Given the constraints and thematic elements such as emojis shaping our universe, we envisioned a dynamic and entertaining gameplay experience that reflects the essence of celebration and competition.

ROLE
Game Design
Our game design centers around the integration of emojis into the very fabric of the gaming universe, each emoji playing a unique role in defining the game's ambiance and challenges. From the playful expression of the goat character to the vibrant bursts of emojis, the visual and thematic elements harmonize to create an engaging and visually delightful atmosphere.
To amplify the fun and foster team camaraderie, we structured the gameplay around two teams, each consisting of five players. The twist lies in the necessity for players to pass the controller seamlessly within their team, fostering collaboration and coordination. This strategic element adds a layer of complexity and excitement, turning the game into a dynamic exchange of skills and strategies.
In the midst of this digital fiesta, players make a crucial choice: the selection of their goat character. This decision not only influences their in-game persona but also adds a personal touch to the competition. Each goat character embodies unique traits and expressions, making the selection a playful and strategic aspect of the gaming experience.
