POST-COMPO EDIT (Sep 4): Added checkpoints. No other changes to the game, please play this version if the original feels frustrating.
Trials of Daedalus is a super simple metroidvania based on the myths of Daedalus and his *Ancient Technology* inventions, in particular the version of the myth recounted by Dael Kingsmill (link below).
The content i planned is all there, but not the polish. I lost a lot of time due to it being my first time using Tiled with Unity, and me doing zero preparation before the jam; the gameplay is pretty rough as a result, but i tried to make the glitches help the gameplay instead of hindering it. The WebGL build is also significantly slower than the editor version, but i don't think it's a performance issue; not sure what's up with that.
Controls:
*Left and Right directional keys, A/Q and D: Move;
*Up, W, Z: Jump / Double Jump (when unlocked);
*Down, S: Hide from bulls (when unlocked).
Game made in Unity; levels made in Tiled, imported via Tiled2Unity; artwork made in Aseprite, imported via TexturePacker; music generated in cgMusic with minor edits in Audition.
Thanks for playing!
