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 moonwalk Actually, 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)
