Mr. Bones' in Royal Flesh
Phew! Overscoped!
This is my entry for Juice Jam II. I couldn't finish everything I wanted in time so I figured I'd at least publish the current state and let everyone play to at least take a look.
Controls:
- WASD or ArrowKeys - Move
- SpaceBar or Click - Attack
- SpaceBar - Confirm on Menus
This game has untested controller support! Use it at your own risk haha
What is this Game About?
- Mr. Bones is fighting zombies in Metropolis!
- Fight enemies, gather their limbs, and decide if you're going to use them for your own or trade them with the Death Queen!
- It's a classic beat 'em up.
- When you trade limbs with the Death Queen, remember that if you're currently equipping them, you're gonna lose them in game! This affects your combat prowess.
- I made everything on my own (solo). Except for this font: https://www.dafont.com/venice-classic.font (credits to https://www.dafont.com/soixantedeux.d1425)
How does it fit the Theme?
Theme: Paying the Price
- Mr Bones is being tormented by the Death Queen, who requires payment in flesh and bones every once in a while.
- Known Issues:
- You can wander off to the void because the game doesn't prevent you from walking off-screen
- Sometimes the character doesn't respawn correctly after game over.
- Currently, having no legs is not detrimental to the character (was supposed to slow it down)
- There is only one droppable limb (I ran out of time)
- The game is not thoroughly balanced (for the same reasons)
- There is only one sound effect (haha).
- I couldn't get off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride.
Final Thoughts
As always, I've learned a lot developing this game, and though it's not in the state I want, the idea sounds pretty fun. Game jams really do a number on you if you overscope, haha!
Have fun!
