Graveyard Shift - JamGame
libGDX 2024 March Game Jam
Theme: Underworld
Story:
It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. Every night those dang ghosts get restless and try to escape their eternal damnation. But that's why you're here. Vacuum those ghosties up before your shift is over and well have them back to pushing boulders in the underworld in no time flat. Good luck!
Gameplay:
Go around collecting ghosts before your 2 minute timer is up and your shift is over. Avoid all bats and ground creatures as they will deal damage to you. Ghosts can not hurt you. Vacuum them up to collect points.
Every 30 seconds, an orb will spawn somewhere on the map. Collect it, to gain a health point and gain invulnerability and increased movement/jump speed for 8 seconds. Ghosts will be caught instantly when you begin to capture them.
By moving outside of the screen you will appear on the other side, Right/Left/Top/Bottom. Pacman style. Use the bottom pit to get back to the top.
Controls:
Customizable, but Defaults:
A: Walk Left
D: Walk Right
Space: Jump (forgot to mention you CAN perform a double jump)
Left Shift: Vacuum.
Notes:
Might be a bit tough OR too easy.
Was supposed to have pickups, powerups and co-op but none of that ended up happening, woops!
