How does the game fit the theme?
Story:
• You are taking a risk by opening a portal to the underworld to consume a biscuit.
Game Mechanics:
• Your SOUL bar (health + stamina) is constantly being drained
• Every attack decreases your SOUL
• The longer the enemy is alive the more SOUL you gain upon defeating it
• Random stat modifiers appear that can either be buffs or debuffs during the waves
These game mechanics incentivise the player to take risks like keeping an enemy alive for the advantage of gaining more soul upon defeating it but at the disadvantage of the enemy having more opportunities to attack, or as another example, choosing to pick up a mystery stat modifier to gain a random buff or debuff.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All assets and code were created during the game jam, except for 3 sound effects and an explosion animation (sound effects being; the melee attack, the explosion at the end of the game and pickup sounds) . Those external audio files are credited on the game’s page, as a way to thank and acknowledge their original authors for generously making them available for free.
Everything else — the tileset, character and enemy designs, UI design, character movement and animation, original pixel art, music, and sound effects — was created during the jam.
