God of War (SNES)
Hey, thanks for taking a look at my game! I honestly didn't have too much time to work on this. But I am writing this after pulling an all nighter lol its 6:49am right now. Anyway, I didn't have time to do any sounds or really fit the "Side Effects" theme.
I originally started making this game for the NES but after making quite a bit of progress I found out that I wasn't meeting a lot of the constraints the NES had. So now its for SNES haha.
This was my first try at pixel art and 2d frame-by-frame animation which was fun. Also there are a lot of weird bugs, but please try to make it through if you can!
Anyway,
Controls:
Move: WASD
Jump: Tap J
Attack: Tap K
Throw Axe: Hold K
Return Axe: Hold K
The level was inspired by this photo:
I used Unity and Photoshop for everything.

How exactly are you supposed to cross the river at the very start of the game?
The jump is too short by a couple pixels.
Nevermind, I figured it out, but it's counterintuitive.
really nice.
can you full screen the game
this one no but others you might
also this: a wood guy with an axe in him being pulled by a second axe towards me
wow lol thanks for commenting
Speedrun No Damage:
27 Seconds
goated
BUG:
I shot my axe at the troll and led him into the river. I couldn't get my axe back :(
If you spam hold K you can get 2 axes. It doesn't really do much tho
There are a lot of texture issues regarding water if you lead the troll in you can see his head.
YOu can see the rocks below the ground
If you throw your axe at the troll, and then stand directly under the troll and call the axe back the troll will die in like 5 seconds cause the axe can't return through the troll and so deals the troll damage
Facing the wall at the start and throwing your axe makes it go through the wall
+ the troll is a jumpable platform
holyyyy, thanks so much for listing all of these bugs maybe ill do an update one day
This is just a very nice game overall but the Enemies don't agro when you hit them with the axe and there is no dodging and that makes the boss fight be more of jump in front of the boss and just abuse the fact he can't hit you when you are close to him and there still some bugs but I think what you did is the it has ever been done and if you want you could even make your own game from this becouse we are all thirsty for a game like this set in the norse mithology and we all overall like the way vikings look
yaaa i agree the main focus of this game for me was creating the art
Nice game if you want suggestions for update you should add the thor boss but all in all great game.
Speedrun time:33 seconds no dmg
thanks for playing it! A couple people now have said they want an update so maybe I will. Ya the Thor boss would be sick, this was my first time doing pixel art so I'm not sure how good he would look haha
Lol, anyway just know we are rooting for you. ;)
AMAZING. You should update
this is the first God of War game I've ever played lol
I don't believe you when you say this is your first time trying pixel art haha. Anyway great work, tho this feels (to me) more like NES than SNES
haha thanks! ya it was originally supposed to be for NES buuut I was matching the color constraints for the NES so i had to switch to snes haha
Very fun and greatly executed, graphics are perfect and it wasnt too challenging.
Im glad you had fun! I hope you were able to pass the river
I came across this little project while browsing through the retro jam and loved the way you envisioned this game in the style of the SNES! The axe mechanic was fantastic!
Thank You!!! That wad my main goal so I really appreciate it
