Oasis Dash

Welcome to Oasis Dash!

The game: 

Oasis Dash is a 2D platformer intended to be a submission to the PolyMars x ScoreSpace game jam. However, since this was both of our first attempts at making a game, my teammate and I were not able to complete it on time. We still decided to finish the game just for the experience, and this is what we came up with. 

Since the theme for the game jam was "overheat", this game takes place in a mysterious desert. This desert has mysterious enemies and a strange substance called "heatsnow", a form of precipitation with a very high temperature that is painful to touch. The purpose of the game is for the player to make it to the cool and refreshing oasis found at the end of the map, defending themselves from the variety of burning hot obstacles along the way

Controls: 

A key	Move left
D key	Move right
Space bar	Jump
Left click	Attack (only if player has acquired sword)
Esc	Pause game

Assets: 

While we made the majority of the assets, some of them were found online or produced by AI. 

[Specific list coming soon]

Important features: 

3 types of enemies: 2 different slimes and 1 boss fight at the end

Wall jumping: You can stick to some walls in the game and jump on them to climb up

Attacking: Once you acquire the sword, you can attack using the left mouse button

Coffee cups: These are meant to serve as power ups, but as of now the only power up is speed and in my opinion, it can be more harmful than helpful, but feel free to try it and see if it helps you

Other notes/comments: 

We didn't bother implementing a leaderboard (at least yet), since we weren't submitting to the jam, but feel free to comment and post your fastest times! We would definitely be shocked if anyone beat a time of 2:09.

Thanks to my partner, S1KH, for working with me through this project! Couldn't have done it without you

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to check out our first game!
