Iby's Descent

My Ludum Dare 48 Entry

The idea for this game is that you play as a sister in search of her brother, sadly I just didn’t have time to get the story into the game. All you have to do is descend the level and find a door, which will lead you to a newly generated level- I won’t lie, the way that works is a little sketchy, but it does work. Chests give you coins (which you can’t actually do anything with!), and sometimes they give you an extra heart.

Controls:

A, D or Left/Right Arrows - Move

W or Up Arrow - jump (double and triple) + Climb Ladders

Space - fire magic wand

I originally wanted to have the ability to further increase the number of extra jumps you have. But it all got a bit tricky by the end, so decided to drop it. I also wanted different levels to have different colour palettes, but again… tricky! The levels are all procedurally generated, so there is sometimes a few issues with getting around unharmed, but there is always a path. Each time you complete a level, the bonus is that everything resets - including hearts. Let’s just call that a feature!
