I got tied up with "life"... and I thought I had missed the deadline for this jam. And then I saw there was still about 3 days left! Yay!

So, since I might get tied up with other stuff again, I decided to make a simple game that can be completed within, say, less than a day.

30 minutes in, this is what I've got so far...

Let's see if I can complete this soon...

Cheers!

And about an hour later, got some basic mechanics in. Let's see if I can complete this.

And about 30 minutes after that, got some logic for the enemy (on the right) done. Enemy now throws the axe and jumps randomly. 

I guess next would be giving lives to the characters and game start / end screens.

Let's get to it.

And it's submitted... as always it's a lot of fun working with GDevelop. 

Play it here: https://itch.io/jam/gem-jam-2/rate/655913

The game is mobile / touch friendly and browser based (so, no downloads necessary).

I might get back to the game and make more changes (like a defeat animation, a better background and some particles). We'll see.

Looking forward to the other submissions and future jams!

Cheers!
