- Game Overview -

This videogame, made for the "8-Bit-to-Infinity Mashup Jam", is a mixture of a typical Arcade game and a peculiar Cardgame done on purpose for this Jam!
On a first impact it's a 2D "Free Roaming" "Dodge Based" game, you are playing as Gregory, a coward court Jester, and you will have to avoid traps and anytime you collide with an enemy you must fight him in a "Card Game" in order to keep your bravery bar safe while your purpose is to reach the end of the dungeon and rescue the princess without freaking out!

The best part of this game is probably the overall spooky mood, given through it's original art and music!
We think the general navigation through the levels is smooth, even toh, right now, there is no challenge because we had not enough time to implement most of the enemy patterns!

- Known "Bugs" -

The build isn't complete because we legit TRYED to do WAY TOO MUCH for our possibilities in the given time frame, still the game is playable, most of the rooms are filled with several AWSOMELY DRAWN and animated enemies even if their "Moveset" isn't complete. If you want to fight them just do the opposite of dodging them!

There is a Final Boss but there is no Boss Fight! Did I mention the fact we had not enough time?
