DESCRIPTION:


Be a dog, pit the jealous gods of nature against each other, and rescue your dead owner in a supernatural race!

Your only control is, "Spacebar" to jump! Gather tribute to dedicate to the gods to earn powers from your chosen patron. The gods are jealous and will send their minions against their rivals' champions.

This is an early alpha demo to showcase the ideas and early art. As you platform and gather tribute, every 60 seconds will bring you to a shrine where you can spend the tribute on  gods to earn their boons, such as gaining an extra jump, making platforms more bouncy, creating a gravity well that slows down time around, and more. Three gods are currently in the game, with 3 more to come soon.


KNOWN BUGS:

- The player may not always collide with the platform they land on and will slide to the edge. This is particularly prevalent with the web version.

- At times, when falling off the screen, the player will be placed off-screen and loses the run.

I'm sure there are BILLIONS of bugs that I look forward to squashing as we continue to add more content, art, and polish. Feel free to let me know in the comments what you break and I'll do my best to fix them quickly!


ROADMAP:

What I aim to finish before April 11:

- Adding the remaining three gods

- Adding unique hazards for all gods. These include walls to block your way, platforms that will damage you if you stand on them too long, and more!

- When a god is jealous or vengeful of you, their enemies and hazards will spawn and the enemies and hazards of gods friendly to you will not spawn

- Finalizing lore for all the gods

- Adding Acts 2 and 3

- Building 3 unique enemies per god with their own movement patterns and dangers

- Refining player movement and dashing mechanic

- Finalizing UI

- Fixing the Web version


Let me know what you'd like to see before now and then and I'll adjust the roadmap correctly!
