Death by Death

Game info

Note:
This game is made with the mouse in mind, WASD + Space + Mouse is the optimal and intended way to play, but Arrow keys + Mouse does work too, in theory.

Movement - AD / Left & right arrow keys

Jumping - Space / Up / W

Attacking - Left mouse button

And, since some people seemed to be confused by this in my last mvm entry, not all enemies can be defeated. If something doesn't make a sound when hit, it is most likely invulnerable.

A volume of 20-30 is recommended.

The horrible repository for this game can be found here.

Reflecting on this game

This game was made for the Metroidvania Month 19 jam, in which's community I've been for a while. Seeing as there was a drought of game jams, and I had nothing to do in my holidays, I figured I'd join. 

All in all, I think it went great, I managed to implement most of what I wanted to. I really needed to make a good game again as well, seeing as my last semi-successful game was Ruined, made for Metroidvania Month 17, therefore about half a year before this one, which is just too long.

Finishing a game is a skill to be aware of, and I'm just glad everything worked out so well with this.

Big thanks to the jam's host, Falcon Nova, and of course:

Have a nice week!
