Hedges of Hell

This game was made for the HEJ 2024 June jam. The themes we tried to incorporate were "navigate" and "blind".

Objective

Collect as many artifacts as you can. They can be found at the location of the huge energy beams.

When your area is clear (no more enemies left), you can dash through hedges to move between areas.

Glory kills: dash into weakened enemies to finish them and gain 5 health back.

Blind kills: if you dash through a hedge and also manage to hit an enemy on the other side, you kill them instantly and gain 10 health back.

Dash to avoid enemy projectiles, or dash through into them (you won't get hurt while dashing, but they will).

That's about it. Have fun, try to avoid bugs!
