SALTMAN (2022)

In the beginning, there was a cart:

...and now there is...

SALT MAN.

2022.

Enjoy!

How to play:

A = Forward Left
D = Forward Right
S =  Back Step (recharges every 4 moves)

Boss fight:

Q = Shoot Left
E = Shoot Right

Saltman can only attack when next to an incoming iceball!

Note: the boss asset, the flowers in the background, and a rigged mesh for saltman's arms and legs were completed before the jam started. Everything else, including music, level design, learning Unreal Engine 5 for most of us, the level-enemy models and animations, intro FMV, etc were all started and finished within two weeks.

Asset pack used!

We have made a handful of day-zero patches so that all the six and particles get into the game!
