Guardians and Gems by Micahtron

made by Micahtron for LD 40 (JAM)

You have been sent to retrieve the stolen gems from the forbidden cave. However, each gem has a powerful guardian who will not take your intrusion lightly. If a guardian's gem is taken, they will chase you down until you drop their respective gem, or you are dead; they are perfectly okay with either one.

The more gems you have, the more guardians will be chasing you!

Nothing worked! The enemies didn't kill me and I couldn't pick up gems ;(

Small nitpicks with the controls - if im holding down and left into a wall I should move along the wall, etc.

Is there a goal? I just ran around and picked things up until I died. I like the artwork, would love to see it in motion - either framebased or Spine type animations.

Great work.

I really like how you ratchet up tension. The music you picked fits perfectly for that, though I see you opted out of audio. The guardians are placed well to give you a good head start and then overwhelm you. Nice job. I only wish that you didn't stick to walls so easily. Overall, I really liked it.
