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. Each artifact gives you 10 health and a few seconds of invincibility.

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

Glory kills: dash into weakened enemies (flashing yellow) to finish them and gain 5 health.

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.

Dash to avoid (or confront) enemies and projectiles - you take reduced damage (by 75%) while dashing!

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