Mutual Aid: Layla

This semester in Game Code Design we were challenged to explore themes of mutual aid and community through the creative process of developing original 2D side scroller games set in San Francisco.

Layla Wolfe’s player character is inspired by her friend grace who’s a caregiver in her community.

“Grace is very meaningful to me because over the years she has been able to help me through almost anything from school work to breakups. One time specifically when she cared for me was when my school work got very stressful for me last year, she called me every week to check in about my mental health and how I was doing.”

Use the Left and Right arrow keys on your keyboard to move the player. Avoid enemy birds and cactuses while you collect power-ups as you make your way through the building and visit all your neighbors on each floor.
