Bard! by StrayByte
Bard is an unfinished game. I feel like uploading it anyway because it has a basic gameplay and feel about what it should be.
The game revolves around Bard, being the guy with the guitar, that fights the evil awoken musical instruments and radios that threathen the world with noise.
I could not manage to put in audio, most of animations are unpolished. The game feels really wrecked and i'm sorry to deliver such poor quality, even if this is my first Dare and my first ever "completed" game. Not making any other excuses, enjoy the game!
It's been a fun challenge and i grew a lot. I hope to get your reviews to grow more and more.
Controls:
Arrow keys to move
A to charge up the heap
S to shoot
D to jump
F to shield from bolts
Holding A and pressing D jumps higher
Holding A and holding F charges up a burst of awesomeness
Sprites, pixel art and coding by me, @StrayByte

Also there's no indication that you shouldn't leave the screen to the right to continue the game, but when you do you can't get back on and the game is now broken. A simple solid object should fix that.
You have the start of a game. Develop it further.
Loved the idea of a guitar as a weapon and would really like to see you continue this.
I too went too far right and had to restart the game. I had a play for a while and it was fun! Thanks
Voted 5 for mood because this https://twitter.com/StrayByte/status/590965725998776322
[If a non italian speaker what to know, here a rough translation: It was exiting, i shouted code while my wife shouted illustration. It was pure magic]
Don't worry about running out of time, we uploaded an unfinished game as well. :P
It seems like I was taking damage from bullets below me when I was jumping while pressing A, but I didn't investigate it much further, as I was busy shooting up robits!
Also I do owe you thanks for testing my game before the jam ended, you helped me lots! :D
Thanks for all the feedbacks!
