[raw]
made by BlackAtlas for LD 44 (JAM)

Idea

The starting idea for this game was to create a basic rogue-like where when the player would die, whichever enemy killed the player would receive all their items. A way for the enemy to use your life as currency.

Result

As you can probably tell, the initial idea was extremely over ambitious for a single dev in 48 and I pushed it back into the jam for the 72 hours. Overall I got some of the basic mechanics implemented with some fairly nice assets (I'm a programmer and art is definitely not my forte).

Hope you enjoy the little demo I got running and tell me how I could improve!

Controls

Nice graphics, and super solid gameplay for what it is. I know its a bit unfinished, but I played on Mac and had to force quit the game everytime I died. Not sure if youre aware or not. You def had a good foundation for a rouge like here if you want it.

Nice premise for a game. I agree with @vuvuzuellainc that it was ambitious for a jam, but I'm glad you came up with something. Keep it up!

p.s. Special props to you for the Mac build :)

For an programmer you made some really nice assets there ;)
You should improve a bit your controlls, so that you hit only in the looking or moving direction.
