Mercenary Knight Rose [GDEX Game Jam 2020]

A Hollow Knight inspired game with a floral aesthetic.

This game was my entry into the GDEX Game Jam 2020, the theme was Community. My idea involved creating a place where flower creatures live but find themselves under attack by a group of marauding roach warriors. In comes Rose, a Mercenary Knight of the Black Thorn who is hired to deal with the roaches, clearing them out of the Flower Villa.

Inspired by Hollow Knight, Ys, and Wonder Boy in Monster World, it was my goal to create a shell of what could be a cool metroidvania / action-rpg sidescroller.

Build v.03d incorporates some new updates that fixes some bugs and playability issues with movement and the flower spring, as well as adding some better UX. v.03c was the last version uploaded to the jam and is available for posterity.
