The Guardian's Tale
A downloadable game for Windows
Warning : The prototype does have french text in it
Context
This prototype was made for an end session project in 3 days. It's the 1st game I've made alone.
What is this game ?
The Guardian's Tale is a 2D platformer where you play as the guardian, who has been awaken by the prays of the villagers of the surface : the children have been kidnapped by the undead.
What you need to know before playing
The very special controls when playing :
- ← : makes you move on the left
- → : makes you move on the right
- ↑ : makes you jump (you'll need to stick yourself against perfectly vertical walls to jump multiple times)
- A : makes you sprint (necessary for some parkour, but you can't attack while you sprint)
- Z : makes you attack
- ESC : pause menu
In the menus, only the arrow keys and the enter key can make you navigate.
Known issues
Here are some known issues :
- In some situations, the player animation is glitchy
- The prototype is REALLY short
- The only enemy is kinda dumb and seems invincible (spoiler : he isn't)
- Some sounds are being played weirdly
If you mash your buttons in a certain way, you can do a moonwalkActually, it's more like a feature rather than a bug, of course ^^'
Updates
I am maybe currently developing a full, accessible and not broken version of this game for fun :3 (but that's a maybe, and you can't trust maybes)
