This is my entry for the Narrative Driven Jam #11. The theme this time was “Anachronism”. I also used the optional themes of “Besties” and “Deus Ex Machina”, somehow.

To be honest, i was more excited for the “Beasties” theme because i had these two characters “in the pipeline” for almost three years, now, and i saw this as my chance to finally bring them to life.

This time i tried to stay away from the line-art style of my previously two entries in the narrative-driven jam. I actually wanted to draw something using only plain-filled shapes, much like Once Upon the Jester does.

Alas, i am not an artist and could not do anything that “pops” without outlines. And even with that is not very good.

Like always, i had to rush things in order to reach the deadline, so the game has a lot less content than i initially planned, but at i think it is entertaining nonetheless.  Even if only for five minutes.

Everything is done with the mouse. This time i use different cursors to show you what you can do with all the items and characters on screen.

I will properly credit each music and sound effect i used here, once the jam voting is over; i do not want to miss the deadline, and also do not want people thinking i’ve uploaded a new version.

The music, as always, comes from Kevin MacLeod from https://incompetech.com/.
