Slay the Devil
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Made for the Metroidvania Month 20 game jam.
A sidescrolling Metroidvania that takes some inspiration from Dark Souls. You are a knight who must travel to the deepest pits of hell to slay evil.
Story-wise the game is unfinished. It's missing a final-final boss as well as a beginning dialogue sequence where you get tasked with your holy mission.

Hm, not sure if I have explored everything. but only places left for me are at hells entrance.
left there, where you need double jump, the camera jsut doesnt feel like following me, so no idea what is to the left there.
and there is also an area above which you cant reahc from here :-/
aside that I have esplored pretty much everything else I think
game is pretty fun so i decided to speedrun it, here is my best time
That's faster than me. Thanks for playing.
The soulslike feeling is evident, I had a lot of fun, the pixelart and art style goes with the game and the mechanics are simple but functional.
after i defeated the demon with the sword he glitched and respawn plus the map crashes after you defeat him but that must be something to say the game is over but overall it's pretty good.
I recommend opening a donation option ;)
Thanks for playing I'm glad you enjoyed it. Definitely some bugs made it in.
I enjoyed it so far, but are you going to add a map? Would enjoy it much more if you can add that
I'm happy you enjoyed it. I only intend to make a few bug fixes after the jam is over, so probably no map. Sorry about that.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the recording.
