Uninspired by the theme, I chose the easy solution of making the graphics minimalist, and used the occasion to experiment a gameplay idea I wanted to try out.
My game was made using Flash Punk, I used no image assets: except for the title, everything else is drawn with basic drawRect. My nice gf did all the sounds using musagi and a mic (hence the Jam entry).
The game is a basic action-platformer, the little twist is that you have to use a staff as both a weapon, a defense and a propulser.
I banged my head against the wall trying to make the collisions work, but I am now satisfied with the result. In the end, the biggest weakness is the level design: I really suck at it, it took me hours to do six short levels and they are not really satisfying. Glad I took the time to put a boss though
Anyway, feel free to give it a try !
