Hey all, this is our first gamejam, and first game ever made for some of us. We unfortunately didn't finish the story or get to implement everything we visioned. The game may be a bit buggy, and is quite hard. Send a screenshot if you can beat it, because we cant ;)
Game:
Story of a pharaoh who performs a dark ritual, in his death to ascend to godhood. The player is a young man affected by this ritual, and in his grief makes a pact with the god Osiris who is disgusted by the perversion which gains him access to the otherworld and a tremendous power ( A magic Ankh ). He uses this power to hunt the soul of the pharaoh and banish it before it can achieve godhood.
An egyptian themed dungeon crawler with five descending levels of afterlife that the player goes through fighting spirits. Can you fight your way through and defeat the Pharaoh!
How To Play: Note, the ultimate has a maximum of nine uses per level, if you use all nine you will die. It will also give you a decreased movement speed for a couple of seconds after use (it is not a bug).
Note: You can skip the introduction by pressing ESCAPE.

The pharaoh fight was hard lol The ult was too strong against everyone, I suggest putting a cooldown on it so people can't casually spam it when confronted, and the regular weapon needs to be stronger/more fun to use so people don't shy away from it. Keep it up! I want to see how your skills progress!
I didn't expect much at the beginning. But then i pressed download. And i must say i am very impressed with the end result. The combat just feels so fluid, and i rarely ever experience lag even on ultra settings! The theme is very fitting and matching the criteria of the subject given.
Great Job guys i'll look foward to follow you through out your careers!
This is a cool little game with great mood and a really interesting concept. I was pleasantly suprised by the voice acting, it really set the mood and the atmosphere. I enjoyed the explorable dungeon, however I would have liked maybe a map that expands as you go, although that was probably a bit much in the time period. I did however, find that I almost had only one small bit of health, and everything killed me in one shot. This would be fine however some enemies just seemed to spawn inside me and I'd die for no reason randomly. Overall though it's a cool game, nice work
Narration is good, and I like the sound effects like the pharoh laugh and the hit sound effect, art was good. I'm not sure what strength I was sacrificing were my attacks getting weaker? And it became really hard to dodge the enemies in the second level. Overall good job though.
