For this jam I partnered with Koda, an amazing artist, to help me with a lot of animations and the level design, so the whole game is really different. Nearly every sprite has been improved in one way or another.
The game was originally about a viking, but we changed the theme to a little kid fighting his nightmares to see his mom.
Th former version had been made in Godot with C#, but it meant that it couldn't be built as a browser game, so I rewrote all the C# code to GDScript.
The original game was a 2 buton game, but I wanted to add mechanics, so I repurposed the second attack of my character's combo to make the character turn around. This opened a way to put hidden collectables in my game without adding a button.
I also added some UI and sound design in order to add player feedback.
the old version is still on itch.io or the moment if you are curious : https://anor0c.itch.io/sleepy-viking
