Science Was a Mistake is a game I made in one week for Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1. The theme was “Nothing Can Go Wrong”. The majority of the code and modelling was done from scratch in that time.
This was my first game jam and it was a valuable experience in rapid prototyping and working to very tight deadlines.
It ranked in the top 15% overall, and #108 for innovation out of 2,187 entries.
You can play the game in browser on Itch.io.

You play as a genetically modified catgirl to harvest grenades from genetically modified grenade trees. You have a rifle to shoot grenades from the tree, and use bullet time to catch them before they hit the ground and explode. However, the grenades will also start falling on their own and exploding all around you!
