Pit
A downloadable game for Windows
This is a game made for Mini Jam 113!
Justification: The theme was 'Final Boss' and the restriction was 'Stuck in a Loop'. I wanted to make a puzzle game final boss, where the adversary is making the puzzling harder. When it came to 'stuck in a loop', I wanted to play around with spatial loops, as well as the feeling of being stuck in a rut. I wanted the boss to seek out and smash your best chance of escape, leading to a cycle of constantly piling up resources and having hopes dashed. As far as spatial, the space wraps on itself (you can move off screen left and end up on the right), but then it wrinkles a little more. I wanted this spatial loop to become suffocating to the player. I still don't really know how to describe the effect achieved. JoJo's golden wind "wha-" meme is the best I can muster.
Don't adjust your speakers, there are no sounds for this one.
Press escape to open the pause menu, which includes the instructions.

He is not responsible for the rest of the artwork, that's my bad.
