Bodkin

Bodkin is a young ranger eager to prove their worth and in order to do so must defeat the evil lurking close to home.

This is a mini-metroidvania-ish game where you play as a character who can defeat enemies by shooting them with a slowly replenishing quiver of arrows or jumping on them (well, most of them - if you can safely get close enough). Explore a small village and its surrounding areas now overrun by undead, uncover the cause of this rise, and purge the land of this creeping darkness.

Defeat enemies of varying difficulty, overcome small but tight platforming challenges, and uncover secrets sprinkled throughout the zones.

This is a small game with between 15-45 minutes worth of play time. Being so small, I opted not to include any 'save' functionality across sessions - all progress is saved within a session so closing the game will wipe that progress.

I created this as hobby project to improve my knowledge and ability with Unity and game design/development in general - so any feedback (good or critical) is very welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to check out the game!
