Scaling Dunes

My Submission to the GMTK Game Jam of 2024!

The theme is Built to scale, so I decided to create a small game where power scaling is the main theme. 

Story:

Our beloved player found a talisman in the middle of the desert. Lured by it's shine, the player quickly grabs it. Soon he realizes that the talisman allows him to become stronger the more enemies he defeats, absorbing their energy into his own. 

However it all comes at a price as he must now fend against hordes of foes coming from the sands...
