An endless dash 'em up about killing beasts and their joint spirits.

Arrows/wasd to move, spacebar to dash.
Kill beasts to get their ghosts, which slow you down, or kill ghosts to kill the beast attached.

I was hoping to do something with the trails you leave behind, like the beasts could hit them to hurt you, or you could use them as a distraction to get behind the beasts, but eh. Was also hoping to have a bunch more animations that would play during the game, but also eh. Really didn't prioritize well, lol.

Made for the GMTK game jam 2021

I like the hand drawn animations, they do really add to the presentation of the game, but there isn't much meat in the play.  maybe if there was a drawback to dashing so the player couldn't just spam it

Thanks yo, definitely got carried away with presentation haha! Thanks for the input, definitely would be important to keep it interesting

I'm not going to lie the initial sound was terrifying in a good way when I first opened this lol. Afterwards it got pretty repetitive though. Maybe transition it into music instead of looping it for the entire game. Really like the drawn animation you did too!

Cheers! I was hoping to get other sound effects to vary it up, but now that you mention it, it would have been a missed opportunity to not transition into some cooler music, something to keep things amped. Thanks!
