Im not sure how much of the game there is. First playthrough went to black screen and second playthrough went to side scrolling level with only a snake but I wasnt able to progress to another screen.

How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
Being unlucky is never fun, so I tried to reward the player for bad luck. You don't level up by beating enemies, but by finding empty chests, getting hurt and breaking your weapon. Can you bring back the stolen wish bone?

It's crashing in combat? That's weird. There are some more screens: you can jump in the well and find secrets, three types of enemies and a non working boss. The game only came together in the last few hours, so missing a bunch of content. Like you can equip stuff, but the chest seem to not return the correct loot...
I hope to add more. Thanks for checking out the game and reaching out. Much appreciated 馃憤
That was neat! The premise of gaining experience by having bad things happen is compelling. The art is cute, and the song is nice. I figured out how to get to the final boss, though I suspect there would've been more obstacles in my way in later iterations.
Good work! Congratulations on the submission!

The game was supposed to be more of a tribute to Gargoyles Quest, with a platforming section in the caves. Also the caves were gonna be dark, so you'd have to find a torch too. It was only after I ran out of time coding, that I figured out how much of the game depended on more level design :')
Thank you for sticking with my messy prototype and beating the boss!

Thank you for playing! Spend most time on the pixel art while still thinking of a good core mechanic. Managed to squash a few bugs, so those will be posted after the jam :)
