Geometry King: Jam Edition

POST JAM UPDATE:

Thank you all for the incredible support in the jam! We have really appreciated all the feedback and the kudos received over the rating period of the jam!

We are actively working on a post jam version that will fix many of the issues we found over the jam, as well as add tweaks and enhancements to existing mechanics. That version will be out very soon with a Windows and Linux downloadable.

We have also made the decision to continue working on this game post jam. While we don't have much we can announce or say about this publicly yet, we are both very excited to continue development, and hope all of you who enjoy this game are excited as well. We will keep you updated in the weeks to come!

SYNOPSIS:

In the distant realm of Geometry Land, you, an enigmatic villain known as the Geometry King has emerged, wielding a powerful, time-altering artifact: the Crown of Chaos. With nefarious intentions and an insatiable thirst for power, the Geometry King sets his sights on the World Islands, a collection of islands that house the world's most precious resources and secrets.

The once peaceful World Islands are now filled with intricate, statue-like artifacts that hold the key to your domination. By interacting with these ancient relics, you unlock the Crown’s powers, enabling you to rewind time.

Your journey is fraught with challenges and adversaries. The World Islands are guarded by an array of defenders, each with their own unique geometrical abilities. To overcome them, you must engage in intense top-down shooter battles. Defeating your foes yields valuable resources, which you can harness to further enhance your geometric form and crown's abilities.

Time is of the essence, as a looming threat approaches with each passing day. The World Islands, though disconnected from the flow of time, are not immune to its consequences. With the Crown of Chaos, you must navigate a delicate balance between your insatiable hunger for power and the world's fragile stability.

When we say that all the assets and aspects of the game were made by us, we mean anything that is not listed in the credits. Everything was created by us, art, music, code, etc other than the CRT Shader and the Leaderboard Plugin!

Web Version works great, but runs slightly slower than the download versions. If you want the smoothest possible gameplay, use the download!

LEADERBOARD RULES: DO NOT create any hateful or inappropriate usernames to display on the board. Doing so will result in your score being removed swiftly from the leaderboard. The username must follow the rules and terms of the jam itself on speech and etiquette.

Geometry King is a game made by StraightUpGruntled and Mr_Afroduck for VimJam4 in 10 days. This game supports Gamepads as well as Keyboard & Mouse. The controls will be introduced as you play!
