The Depths of Darkwood: Drunkard's Survival by Icaka

[raw]
made by Icaka for Ludum Dare 57 (JAM)

Welcome!

This is my take at the Theme. I wanted to introduce it more like lore and feel, not that much of a gameplay mechanic. For a lot of time i wanted to play around with the idea of a top-down survival (but with a twist), and i thought "NOW is the chance!". All feedback is welcome, and let me know if i should develop it into a full game. Thanks a lot for Playing!\

[Story time]

You are the knight, who's fond of the king's daughter - the beautiful princess. You train hard every day, in hopes that she notices you. Every day is a struggle for her attention. There is an event soon, where you need to be the princess' personal guard. You think that is finally your chance! But later you learn that the event is actually the princess' wedding. You are heartbroken. And what is the best medicine for a broken heart? That's right! Alcohol. But you've had too much at the local pub and you seem to be lost on your way home into the Darkwood forest where flesh-eating slime reside. The only thing with you is your personal see-in-the-dark slime, who also happens to be your bestfriend and drinking buddy. Survive for as long as possible, and evade the deadly Mobs.

Nice I like the graphics and I think if you add some more it will be for sure a top selling indie game and I think I am going to play this more often now that I have played it once
