Hydra was my entry to LD7. The theme was “growth”. It’s a top-down shooter, where you play a growing hydra.<\/p>\n

\"Hydra\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the start, the hydra is merely a small worm – and even a single knight who has set out to kill you is a dangerous foe.<\/p>\n

\"Hydra\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some levels later and after eating lots of knights, the Hydra has reached quite some size. But, there’s now also more knights, and they also got bigger and stronger.<\/p>\n

\"Hydra\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The final form when you win the game – I doubt anyone ever has encountered this without using cheat codes.<\/p>\n

Download: original LD7 submission<\/a> (no idea if it still works on modern systems)<\/p>\n \n
