Pre Jam Content:
Nothing, everything seen and used in this game was created during and for the Summer Game Jam, even the character controller was built from scratch

Summary:
In the distant future an elite group of soldiers referred to as Spartans exist, they are the best of the best and must go through intense physical and mental training. Only the greats make it out alive. You are one of the new recruits, in order to prove yourself as a valuable member to the squad, you must first pass the training facility test. Recruits who make it out with the best time and who manage to stay alive become permanent members. Are you good enough to become one?

Relation to Theme:
I can’t say everything as it will ruin the surprise, but what I can say is, don’t judge a book by its cover!

Controls:
WASD - Move forward, left, backwards and right
Space - Jump, pressing the jump button twice will initiate a double jump
Left Shift - Sprint
C - Crouch, if held while sprinting the player will initiate a slide
ESC - Pause
In Order to Wall Run - Players must jump towards a specific wall that can be ran on (Yellow walls that are floating) and hold space as well as w as they collide with the wall. If both buttons are held and the players continues looking forward, a wall run will be initiated

Bonus Tips:

  • Wait around at the menu for a few seconds to see a cool effect!
  • Play the game against your friends and see who can set the best time, this game was built with speedrunning in mind, so go as fast as you can and compete to be the best!
  • Pay attention to the different colors of tiles, they may give you hints on what movement must be used in order to reach the next area, or warn you of potential danger

Most importantly, make sure to have fun! Thanks for checking out our game and thanks to who helps organize this amazing event! It was a great time building this game from the ground up!

Notes:

  • The wall run mechanic was based off of a Youtube tutorial, not sure if that really counts as a pre jam content or not so I will include it here just to be safe
  • Make sure to play version 0.2.0
  • The lighting got messed up a little in the menu, sorry about that!
