    Tribes (2014) for Arabic Game Jam 2014 in Malmo, Sweden

    The simplicity of the interactions and the visuals are very suiting for a game that takes place out of the screen. The idea of Tribes is to show the human need of confirmation, hence the lack of opacity in the beginning. The need of being accepted in a group or environment, hence the adapting of color from your surrounding coexisters. And the evolving of your own self through interactions with other life forms. Every interaction helps you evolve, until you are the ultimate shape.

    Team: Abdullah Konash, Tobias Högman, Heber Andrade, Gabriel Pizarro Correa.
