jachymdolezal/game-jam-solo

This is my solo game jam for learning more about Godot Engine. This is 12 hour Game Jam. The random generated theme is "Magic Gone Wrong". I did not manage to add all features in the first 12 hours tho.

Magic platformer

Description

This game combines endless platformer with unpredictable magic. The player is trying to survive as long as possible, jumping to falling blocks and avoiding obstacles. The player can move with jumping, he can stick to object's walls and can dash even through objects, if they are small enough. The player can also use his special ability, which can cast a spell. The spell is random and can be either good or bad.

Controls

Space - Jump A - Move left D - Move right S - look down W - look up Shift - Dash (on press player will signal the direction, on release player will dash) J - Cast spell

Player Mechanics

• Player can jump

Afterthoughts

I did not manage to implement all visual and audio assets, but I managed to implement almost all mechanics except the random spell casting. The initial version therefore lacks certain features. The game will be polished in the next releases.
