Barkasana

Barkasana is a fun and light-hearted meditation game where you help a lovable dog find inner peace in the chaos of a busy park. Your goal is to keep our doggy friend focused on his meditation by calming the distractions around him.

People are making all sorts of noise—it's up to you to manage the chaos. Tap on each distraction and complete quirky mini-games to turn them down. As the dog relaxes, he reaches a deeper level of meditation. But beware! Once he’s fully zen, a new challenge begins in Phase 2, where distractions intensify and come fast, like a storm, putting your calming skills to the ultimate test.

Barkasana was created for Brackeys Game Jam 2024.2, inspired by the theme "Calm Before the Storm." The game captures this theme through its two phases: the first phase represents calm, as you help the dog meditate by minimizing distractions. The second phase—the storm—introduces rapid, more intense distractions, challenging you to keep the dog serene under pressure.

Can you help our furry friend achieve total tranquility, or will the park’s madness overwhelm him? Jump into Barkasanaand see how long you can keep the calm before the storm hits!

This game was created by Heribert, Izmir, Sani, and Ava. Heribert and Izmir handled the programming and game mechanics, Sani crafted the sound design and music, and Ava created the art.

Controls:

• Use WASD or Arrow keys to move around.
• Press Spacebar or Right-click to interact with distractions.

You can play the game with either the mouse or keyboard—choose what feels best for you!
