Defblade
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
What is this?
Defblade is a precision pixel-art platformer, with combat based elements (and explosions), made from scratch using C++ and SDL2 for the high seas hack club event. Defblade is a difficult game, and players who are up to the challenge will have to parkour and battle their way past deadly spike pits, fiery lava lakes, toxic slimes and vicious bats. Avoid dying to maintain your bank balance (that starts at $1000), and slaughter enemies to replenish your doubloons.
How it works:
If you die, you lose money. When you kill enemies, you gain money. When you run out of money, it's GAMEOVER. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Controls:
Use WASD or arrow keys to move and jump.
Press X or J to attack.
