About the Game

Hi, and thanks for checking my game out! It took me about four months to make this in my spare time. I've been making games as a hobby for over ten years, and I've started many projects but never ended up completely finishing them. My goal with this project was to spend only a few months on it and bring it to full completion, and I'm happy to say I achieved that goal! It may not be a very impressive game, but I'm learning to finish my projects, and I'm taking steps toward my next big idea.

This game is a prototype of a bigger concept of mine, which is a first person re-imagining of classic fantasy beat-em-up games like Golden Axe and King of Dragons. These games were fun, easy to understand, and simple enough to enjoy even with a friend who didn't play games very often. I hope to capture that feeling of sitting on the floor next to a friend, choosing the characters that suit your personalities, and going on a fun adventure together.

I hope you like the idea and enjoy playing!
