Cavern of Cards
About
NOTE: Please run this game in fullscreen mode!
A bullet-hell shoot-’em-up with only one boss. Take them down all their forms in one run! Between phases you get to pick cards which can have a range of helpful or hindering effects, but choose wisely: you can only pick one!
Controls:
- WASD: Move
- Space: Shoot/Select/Continue
Tips:
- Each card has a Player modifier, a Hazard modifier, and a Cosmetic modifier.
- There's no way to see if a modifier is positive or negative, you'll just have to see when you pick it!
- The ranking of the card (indicated by border color - bronze is lowest, and gold is highest) indicates how powerful its modifiers are. But be warned, this affects negative ones too!
- If at first you can't select any of the cards, click on one to highlight it
- We ran out of time to implement certain modifiers.
Theme:
This was made in 48 hours in Unity for the GMTK Game Jam 2019. This game ties into the theme of “only one” in several ways:
- The only enemy in the game is a single boss
- The player can pick only one card at a time
- To win, the game must be completed in one run without dying, as there are no checkpoints.
