Punk-Off

Punk-Off was developed in 1.5 days by three people who met during the 2025 MEF JAM, where the theme was “Punk.”
Out of 98 participants and 18 teams,  it received the  “Most Innovative Mechanic” award.

Game Objective

Survive and ascend until you reach the Party Floor.

Core Mechanics

• Move to dodge incoming enemies (business people) and Aunties.

• Use Headbang to launch your hair. Hitting enemies with your hair turns them into punks. Avoid hitting Aunties.

• Platform Elevation: The speed at which the platform rises depends on the Punk Meter. A higher Punk Meter increases the ascent speed. Taking damage temporarily cuts the speed in half for 2 seconds.

• Punk Meter: Functions like a health bar. Increases when you convert enemies into punks. Decreases if you hit Aunties. It also depletes slowly over time, so you must keep transforming enemies to maintain momentum.

• Enemy Spawner: Once the platform starts rising, enemies begin to spawn more frequently. Keeping your Punk Meter high is key to moving faster and avoiding being overwhelmed.
