Skaart And The Cursed Woods (jam version) - unfinished

"Skaart! I am happy you could come. Once again, a curse hit our forest. Please help us!"

______________

Skaart comes to the rescue and is armed with the Slot Gun, a gun capable of inflicting devastating blows... only if you manage to get the lucky hit. His weapon is useful, but sometimes hurts more than it helps.

______________

GAMEPLAY
Your goal is to go through the forest while using your Slot Gun to kill the haunted trees. The catch is that the gun's bullets are tied to a slot machine, so you have to shoot at the right time to have the appropriate effect. Remember, the Slot Gun is helpful... but it may also be harmful!

______________

CONTROLS
* WASD - movement
* W - jump
* K - start the slot
* K (while in slot mode) - shoot
* J (while in slot mode) - cancel the slot
* R - restart 

* ALT + ENTER - fullscreen

 OUT OF TIME

Oh I wish I had just a bit more time! I spent most of the jam setting a base to the mechanics and elements of the game, but as the clock was ticking, I was unable to apply it. I had several other bullet (or Slotties ) effects idea. (such as a healing bullet, melee bullets, crazy but dumb effects - like transforming the enemy into a frog) Adding a bit more enemies wouldn't have been bad neither... and obviously, more content. I made all the (playable) rooms in the last couple of hours.

 PERSONAL NOTE

I hope you will (or did) enjoy your experience with Skaart, although it's not very finished. It was really fun an satisfying to make (especially the art and sound effects). It's my second entry for Ludum Dare! My first was way back, after one of my first game jams. It's also my first time participating in the Compo! My scope was a bit too big, but I'm still happy on how many things I squeezed in in 48 hours. :)

I hope you like my new baby. ♥
