Scribble Traps

Scribble Traps is a chaotic prototype inspired by games like That Level Again, Level Devil, and Tricky Castle, where every “lesson” is actually a setup for betrayal.

We built this for a short game jam to explore one question: How much can you trust a platformer? Each level starts simple: jump, avoid spikes, reach the door, until the game begins breaking its own rules. What if the door is the trap? What if the spikes are safe? What if the level resets to laugh at you?

It’s short, silly, and made entirely with the intent to mess with your expectations.
