Shape Shuffle by BitDare
This game was finished in a panic so a lot of features were not complete but I plan to continue to make everything much better. I had a fun time making it, though. There is no title screen so move quick! The game will remain on Itch.io for further development. There is already an updated version.There are also features such as the tier system that aren't fully shown.
Controls :
WAD = Movement
-Can stick to walls
Shift = Camera Movement
1(BOW), 2(SWORD), 3(HAMMER, after boss) = switch weapons
Space = Attack

The collision detection allowed me to wall jump out of a cave with overhang, which is cool.
Silliness aside, looks like you over-scoped (like I did too) and ended up with something nice but empty. Next time try a bit smaller.
It was pretty fun, though maybe a bit too ambitious for a game jam, interested to see what you do with it.
I liked how the different weapons affected your speed and jump height as well as your attacking, that was a nice touch of detail! My favorite was the hammer though :)
It's pretty easy to tell that you made this game in panic. A lot of features I would consider to be expected are missing, including invincibility frames, enemy knockback, juice (see Juice it or Lose it on Youtube if you haven't seen it already), not being able to stick on walls, etc. But there was certain charm in the game's broken state.
Nice game, tough! :D
