Hell on earth
Game jam platformer
Take the role of Odin and reclaim the key to the Bifrost so you can travel home again. Walk around in human form and utilize your godly strength or transform into a crow and soar through the sky!
Hell on earth was made in two days during the 2022s Global game jam where the theme was Duality. My goal during this project was to improve my scripting and prototyping skills and I thought that a transformation mechanic would fit the theme of duality.
To entice players to use the different forms I balanced it so that the crow form could fly and avoid enemies but not be able to attack, and if you play in human form you could attack but not fly which will force the player into combat. To not be able to spam transform and glitch the game I added a cooldown timer of 5 seconds to the transform. We designed three levels, the first would focus on the human form, the second on the crow form, and the third would mix the gameplay and the player would have to use all they learned in the previous levels.
