Prelude!

Developed in less than 48 hours for March 2024's Joint Jam. Team comprised of:

Joan Mikel Amaya - Lead Designer

Tu Nguyen - Programmer

Yusmari Romero - Sprite Artist

Gage Schoeder - 2D Artist

Special thanks to Michelle Torres for finding and editing SFX for us!

We originally wanted this to be a larger title but it was our first time in a game jam, so we stuck to trying to make something that was semi polished. Probably able to finish in under a minute, but we hope you enjoy it! 

The original premise was to enter a menacing cave and fight monsters to rescue your friend. Time constraints meant the game ended up being about fighting to get in the cave. The rest is up to your imagination, for now....
