Essence Runner
A downloadable EssenceRunner
This is it. My first ever Jam project. My first EVER video game.
I've put a lot of time into this project this week and I'm happy and proud to say that it's ALIVE!
The game is a simple collection game, you collect essence on a timed level to power your jetpack. Then you take to the skies and collect as many Sky shards as you can before your fuel runs out and you head back to the shop for some tasty upgrades....and possibly a secret!
Please enjoy, it may not be much but it is filled to the brim with essence from my own passion.

This is not bad! I enjoyed the idea. My only problem was not enough time to grind out those goals. I guess one more, it’s pretty hard to tell where you’re going to get the essence but also they seemed to serve no purpose. Otherwise, I didn’t mind the activity.
Thank you again for playing!
It was a bit of an oversight for me. The essence you collect in the first stage actually determines your time in the jetpack phase, I did have a timer but it kept bugging out on the GUI, so it was removed. But the more essence you collect, the longer you get to collect shards in the sky :).
That makes so much sense! I was wondering how some levels I’d survive in the jetpack much longer. Definitely be sure to include that info on-screen somehow, maybe a simple rocket fuel graphic that fills up when you get essence?
that's a great idea! I'll definitely add that and some improvement soon!
Thanks again!
