Description [EN]

Shad and Lily are grave robbers. Shad carries the chests while Lily passes through walls to open doors... because she is a ghost... summoned when Shad dies.

• Space bar : Summon Lily (Shad only)

This game was made for MiniJam 72. Theme : Adventure, Limitation : Death as a core mecanic.

My first idea was to have a lot of traps and use them to finish the level. Since it would've been more a platformer, I continued my search. My second idea was to make the reaper a mecanic of cores but I didn't know where to go from there.

The first prototype I went with, was with a game where the hero had the power to die and pass through walls as a ghost. He had to be quick because a healer was running after him to resurrect him back to life. After some tests, it wasn't as fun as I tought it would.

Still on my to-do list :

• Add more levels
• Have Shad find ways to forfeit his life spark to summon Lily instead of by pressing a button
• Allow Lily to pass through phantom-fences only in shadowed areas
