Norse Realms

Type: 2D Action · Jam: Jamination5 · Engine: Unity

For the 48-hour game jam Norse Realms, adhering to the theme "Every action does multiple things," I introduced a dualistic gameplay experience through two distinct characters:

Axeman

• Shoots slow but powerful projectiles with a unique weapon passive — a circle of spinning axes.
• Character passive builds up a shield.
• Left Shift triggers a low-range dash and marks a spot to teleport back to.

Archer

• Shoots fast projectiles with a weapon passive that unleashes a potent arrow penetrating enemies.
• Character passive grants increased movement speed.
• Left Shift executes a long-range dash, conjuring a temporary black hole that pulls in enemies.

Each character is associated with a universe. When a character exhausts their ammunition, the player seamlessly transitions to the other universe — adding strategic depth aligned with the jam theme.
