  • "F" to interact

What is Project 2021?

Over the course of this year, I am trying to tell a story between all of my games. While you do not need to play any prior or following games to enjoy this, the lore does build. Can you piece together the story that is being told?

  1. Out Of Time
  2. Armor Of God
  3. Death Percent
  4. Rouge Royale
  5. A Name Is Earned
  6. Last Man Standing
  7. Joining Forces
  8. Second Son
  9. Death Percent 2
  10. Journey to Hell
  11. A Drunk Thief Returns
  12. From the Ashes

Theme:

  • The theme of this jam was 'Roll of the Dice'. In this game, you use your dice for combat, timing the attacks carefully to maximize damage. Beware the cat who wields a 20 sides dice of his own.

the doors and blocks are very similar to Joining Forces....

In The Walls ->Joining Forces -> A Drunk Thief's Return???

I like the idea that the player can wait for the dice roll to attack rather than it being completely random. It gives the player more control. The movement and jumping feel good but it's hard to tell which things you can stand on and how much of them you can stand on. I think this is due to a lack of contrast with the background and there being no outline on the area you can stand on. Good job overall.

Nice gameplay and combat, but it would be helpful if you made it more clear as to where the player is supposed to go since the map is very big.
