Escape From Castle Doom
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This is my submission for Miz Jam 1, it is a platforming action adventure, completed in 30ish hours.
The hero is a wizard who is imprisoned and must escape by transforming goblins in to ducks, avoiding evil traps and trying to save as many ducks as possible by shrinking them in to his pouch and carrying them to the exit.
See how quickly you can complete it, and can you save all 40 ducks?
Music was by https://sonatina.itch.io , everything else by me. Massive thanks for her agreeing to help with short notice.
In game controls are listed as mouse and keyboard in the tutorial, but it is possible to play with a gamepad too if anyone is interested, although it is not massively tested with that.
Thanks for checking out my game.
EDIT2: I've now updated my game to address much of the feedback that I got. The game should now be easier with the jumps and the AI a little better. There is also an extra level in the middle.

Great little game had a lot of fun with it. The art kit was super well put together and the colours were really on point here. The music was also great and the overall controls were solid.
One thing I think would improve it is stopping the ducks from falling into spike pits. There were a few instances where I couldn't get to them quick enough before they fell to their doom.
Also another one which wasn't huge but I think could improve it, if it is possible for the camera to maybe be a bit higher as sometimes you can't see enemies behind some walls/doors.
Overall a great game, you should be super proud of this :)
Thanks for playing and the feedback! I'll take a look at the camera and the ducks and will see if I can get it a bit better. I'll probably put out an update after the Miz Jam ratings end.
