The game takes about 5-10 minutes to complete, but is best enjoyed by listening to the records as you pick them up. Click on the youtube links after you defeat the monsters for each level and sit back for a couple minutes for the best experience.

To make this game I used:

* F#
* MonoGame
* GIMP
* SunVox
* sfxr

All code and assets were created by me during the jam. I tried to make the comp but it turned out I needed much more time than that ;_;

This is my first Ludum Dare and Jungle Records is my first actual game. I hope you like it!

Tools: GIMP, MonoGame, sfxr

I love the creativity and how all the battles are like puzzles. The art is really unique and interesting. Well done.

I loved the feel of the game from the Art and Music. It really set the mood well. I enjoyed the combat too. Unfortunately after the first boss I could not figure out how to get to the next level.

@jasontherand thank you, and sorry that you couldn't find the way down! There's a different sound for when you step on the tile that drops you to the next level, so you have to defeat the boss and then find a tile that sounds different and press spacebar or e when you're on it.
