This is a remake of a game I worked on with a team for Brackey's Game jam 2021.2, as the lead sprite artist. (You can play it here!) I always liked the idea, and it's very October-y, so I thought it would be an excellent project to remake for this jam.
I think the difficulty is a little off; too much variance in the wrong places. But it's fun when the randomness works out in your favor! And it's not as much of a deck-builder as I wanted, there's no synergy, nothing to encourage 'building'. The passives are just pretty standard, I wanted to make extra-interesting-game-changing perks you pick after boss fights (a la Slay The Spire) but I ran out of steam.
Overall a good jam! Learned a lot, had some fun ideas, drew some fun monsters. I'm satisfied.
