Nightmare Climb

You play as a sleeping mage during one of their worst nightmares; facing a giant golem.  Reach the top and destroy its power gem to stop this nightmare!

But be careful with its powerful attacks that try to throw you off!

You are not defenseless though, use your nightmare bending abilities to summon nightmare enemies you can defeat to obtain nightmare fuel. The mage can then use nightmare fuel to boost jump to reach higher platforms!

The game may take a little while to start on web! Do mind that. I would recommend downloading the windows build if you can run it.

The game is beatable. Difficult, but beatable. Hint: Perform the double jump as soon as you can after jumping for a stronger boost.

I might work on a more complete version after the jam.

Made in less than 72 hours for Mini Jam 144, with the theme "Nightmare" and the limitation "Colossal Enemy".

Controls

• Left/Right Arrows - Movement
• Spacebar - Jump/ Boosted jump (double jump)
• A - Attack (semi-ranged attack)
• Z - Toggle summoning mode to summon nightmare enemies

Summoning Mode

Enter summoning mode to summon nightmare enemies that you can defeat to collect nightmare fuel. Be careful, the mage cannot move while in summoning mode!

Collecting nightmare fuel also heals the mage.

Boost Jump

Use Nightmare fuel to do boosted jumps (double jumps) to reach the top of the giant golem and destroy its power gem to win! Boosted jumps are more effective the sooner you do them after jumping.

The Golem

Getting to the top is not as easy as it sounds, the giant golem won't let you climb it so easily, be careful with its slaps! It may throw you away!
