A Long Way Down
Submission for ScoreSpace Jam #6 | Theme: Karma
Please zoom in if screen is too small, or download the game below for proper full screen. Feel free to report any bugs to me in the comments!
Q: How does this game relate to the theme ?
A: According to the theory of Karma, what happens to a person, happens because they caused it with their actions. We decided to incorporate this element into our game through the player killing enemies. Although killing enemies gives the player more points, they will suffer in the future as the game will become harder from the additional bullets from the dead enemies.
Q: What is the goal of the game? How do you play this game?
A: Make your way down a labyrinth full of monsters. and get as far down as possible to get the highest score. Avoid incoming bullets from enemies or kill them for more points! Beware though, your actions have consequences.
Move with the "AD" or "left/right arrow "keys.
Jump with the "W", "up arrow" or space bar.

This game's idea and mechanics are really cool. I would say the jump sound is just loud enough to be annoying though
it is my first time to paly the game and this my record
Just getting started.
Good news, bad news. Love the shrinking bullets and the point increase from the enemies. Makes it waaaay more tempting to stomp them, or at least less mad when I stomp one by accident. Bad news is still pretty funny news, though.
lmao, thanks for finding that
surprise mechanicbug, ill add fixing it to my tasks for next week.NB
Wow, thanks for being very dedicated and playing for like 5+ hours, well deserved victory! Also I've watch the 30 minutes video of you
sufferingplaying and would like to share a list of changes I would make when I'm free to update this game.Although updating the game won't save high scores so that's a problem.
That's fine. Let me know when you get it updated and I'll see about posting another high score!
Just posted an update and a dev log for the changes! There's still a lot I want to add but that will have to wait till next weekend.

I cannot rate this game even though it's good.
