What you see on screen is what exists. Once it's no longer visible, it gets deleted.
Collect chests to upgrade your characters abilities, and defeat enemies (read: chunks of stone and dirt) to level up and gain health. Get all four artifact pieces from chests to win.
Controls and information also available in-game.

yes, smash those ... crates! :D nice procedurally generated platformer. pretty basic drawings...
Lol) The game feels very fun)
One of the boxes got on top of my head and killed me in a few seconds :D
This is a nice base for a modern roguelike type of game. I can see that the work on programming is heavier than the art. There's nothing wrong with that! I liked it!
It is a nice idea. The game is too easy. If enemies were stronger, or smarter, or faster, and if your health didn't fill up so fast, it would be more fun.
Your website or whatever website is hosting the file seems to be down.
Really like the procedural generation, but having issues with crate mechanics :)
Has a nice feel but it's crazy ambitious for the jam and thus, not really very balanced or polished. Could be cool to keep working on!
Super creative game, I like the generous treasure chests. And those darn boxes kept ganging up man!
One suggestion, in art darker values of colors represent foreground while lighter represent distance and background (look at mountains in the distance, they get lighter the farther away they go)
Might want to apply this rule to your game because I kept think the dark blocks were ceilings and floors
Kinda cool, especially getting the upgrades. If the sword swing was just a bit more satisfying, and hitting the enemies had a crunch, it would add a lot to the experience. At first I wasn't sure when I was hitting them, but then I did notice you flash the enemy a bit.
One nice thing about the balance was that you had to be careful. You think you're in control, but as soon as you lose it things can fall apart fast because you get multi-hit to near death quickly in a bad position. Also there was a balance between careful play killing each guy, vs sprinting past them.
I tried to use the screen mechanic to kill guys by moving so they'd go off the screen and stop existing, but I didn't have a lot of luck with this. That was when I got surrounded and ran for my life.
ShadowStryker & JoshuaBurr, I've put a itch.io link as the main one - the old one has been moved to be a mirror. Hopefully now you'll be able to play.
Lynx, thanks for the tip on the art. I didn't realize this.
pkenney, thanks for the comment! When it comes to the screen mechanic, it's not entirely true. There's a small 'buffer' where tiles will stick around so that you don't see them getting destroyed, so the enemies might have hidden there.
I love the random generation, although it could be more noticeable.
The biggest issue for me was the animation not matching the actual attack range. Some random powerups in the chests would go a long way. Items that change your strategy would be really neat.
Really like the idea of stuff going off the screen being destroyed, I just wish you had a level design that promoted backtracking or whatnot to make use of it more.
"What you see on screen is what exists. Once it's no longer visible, it gets deleted." - sounds really good, I think you should've focused more on that and used it as a central game mechanic. This way it doesn't really matter all that much, and everything seems quite generic. Wouldn't even have noticed that feature if I hadn't read it beforehand.
Otherwise a pretty solid game, the chests were a nice touch. It just was a bit monotonous.. :)
Really liked it, I love the stats grinding, and the fighting, though quite weird, it feels satisfying. Good Job!
Pretty good concept and I like how the levels are procedurally generated although it's a bit annoying when an enemy box lands on top of you and you can't shake it off.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Pretty good! I especially liked the music and I think the concept of getting new skills and stuff from chests is cool.
