Clean History

Clean History is an arcade shooter game where Death tasks you with cleaning your browser history. You must delete all your questionable searches before the time runs out by navigating your browser's history with jumping and dashing. But watch out for distracting ads and avoid getting rate limited. Developed for Jamsepticeye 2025 with the theme "Death is an opportunity", Clean History ranked in the top 15% overall and in the top 10% in enjoyability out of 1,166 entries.

Gameplay Features

• Multiple Endings

  How well (or badly) you clean your history decides your ending. There are four different outcomes.

• Shooting

  You shoot X's to delete searches and ads. But be careful to not overdo it, or the system will rate limit you.

• Movement

  Jump, dash, shoot, repeat! The game encourages constant movement with jump pads everywhere and a dash ability to keep you constantly moving.

Development Details

• Engine: Unity 6
• Assets: All models and graphics are created by me. The SFX came from various places, and the music is by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org).

What I learned

This was my first game jam, and my first attempt at finishing a game under a strict time limit. This taught me how to prioritize features, the value of prototyping early, and time management. I also tackled new things like a dialogue system and branching endings based on player performance. There wasn't much time to expand the concept, but it was a huge learning experience and taught me a lot about turning a theme into a playable game and helped me improve my development process for future projects.
