Rust to Dust

Step into a futuristic world where you play as a fully equipped combat robot… at least initially. In this action-packed platformer you begin with a rocketpack, a powerful weapon and peak confidence, but with every boss fight you lose a part of yourself. Can you still survive and defeat the enemy?

NOTE: The game is intentionally difficult so the player may have to learn.

Controls

  • A and D to move left and right
  • LSHIFT to dash
  • SPACE or W to jump
  • J to attack

Very short but fun! Cool boss, reminded me of the Incredibles robots

Thanks! I can see the resemblance of the boss to the robot from the Incredibles, but hells, I'm glad I don't have to animate that one

Very nice and surprisingly polished game. Enjoyed it very much. Killing the enemy with just the head was surprisingly easy, Who needs body anyway :).
I'm a bit sad for not being able to say hit all of you on the second day of the jam. Hope to see you all on GameBeer ;)

Thank you! This jam was a blast. Looking forward to seeing you :) (If it were up to me I would make the game harder but I don’t want people to suffer xD)

Thanks for the playtest (and all the sweets :D), and for coming back to try the final version. I'm looking forward to seeing you!
