SoulSnatcher

DISCLAIMER: Due to real-life obligations squandering much of our development time, this game currently lacks a lot of features and content we were planning to implement. This means that fundamental aspects like enemy attacks and sound effects couldn't make it in. That being said, we completely respect the conditions of the jam, and we don't expect to be judged differently even if it is incomplete.

SoulSnatcher is a 2D top-down hack-and-slash action game about the Reaper, a shadowy entity who must pursue Wisps and consume their Souls to illuminate the endless void around them. Armed with a blazing Lamp Scythe, the Reaper can rend through Wisps with swift Dash Slashes, which can be chained together in quick succession with enough skill. Should they wander too long without light, however, the Reaper will be reclaimed by the insatiable darkness.

Currently, the game only supports keyboard and mouse controls.

• Move - WASD
• Aim - Mouse Cursor
• Dash Slash - Space

SoulSnatcher was developed in 1 week for VimJam: Collectibles, by members of Trisagion Games. It was created using the Godot Engine and Aseprite.
