Hello everyone!

We are really happy that we were able to finish our prototype. We had a really hard time with the theme but we managed to finish it.

K-Tar is a Game about a Keytarist that must traverse a dungeon using the power of magical keys. But there's a catch: Every key weights you down.

A Little About the Process:

I'd like to talk a bit about our approach with work time. We decided that we wouldn't kill ourselves over the 72h so we started working everyday at about 10AM and worked until about 9/10PM. No late nights. As a result our team worked at a realy realaxed pace and it was a wonderful experience.

A Little About the idea:

Our main concept is that you must balance how many keys you want to carry and the speed you want to move. The puzzles would then offer a clue and the player can choose to think about it or bruteforce through it.

The setting was a joke we thought was funny. Mixing 80's aesthetics and Fantasy dungeons. Since we were using keys, nothing more natural then having the main character play a Keytar(Also known as the greatest instrument mankind has ever created)

We intend to make each key give our hero extra powers. But that will happen in a future and is not implemented yet.
