Hallow Doom

Made in a week for the "Run & Jump Jam 3" Game Jam.

Crescentisle.
A faraway island located beyond any known map
No outsiders are allowed here, and inhabitants aren't allowed to leave.
Their belief is why, they worship what they call the STAR TEMPLE.
A temple located at the center of the island, and it's said to bring you to the world's heart.
However, nobody ever got there, and nobody shall.
Their belief states that entering such a place will bring doomsday.

When you're the one who accidentally brings doomsday, what will you do and who will you turn to when you're exhiled?

Will you also try to fix your mistake and stop the CATACLYSM?

A Startropics inspired game, with a side of Virtual Pet Sim.

--------------------------------------

CONTROLS:

Arrow keys/WASD - Move
Z/Spacebar - Jump/Select
X/Enter - Attack (Dungeons)/Nova Menu (Overworld)
C/Ctrl - Skip the entire dialog/Cutscene

-------------------------------------

TIPS

You are completely invincible while jumping, use that to your advantage
When you unlock Nova, their hunger will decrease more rapidly the sadder they feel, so cheer them up.
Going back to the overworld will refill your health.
The game always autosaves each new chapter.

If you are softlocked in any way during a dungeon or any other place that isn't the overworld, you can press 'R' to restart the room.

I didn't get to balance the game properly, that's why I'll be leaving a secret cheat, like I did with my last R&J gamejam

Press O to reduce your health, press P to increase it.

Don't feel too ashamed for using it, really.

-------ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION-------

This will be the project for the Run & Jump Game Jam 3
...This will also be a fool's errand lmao.
Wish me luck, or not, because by the time you see this it must be finished.
