ColdSleep

ColdSleep is an arcade style run and gun shooter with a haunting atmosphere and NES inspired visuals. The tone and inspiration are influenced by creepypastas like Misfortune.gb, Polybius, and NES Godzilla, along with Black Metal projects like Xasthur, Silencer, and Pyschonaut 4.

In ColdSleep while you were sleeping a demon trapped you in its icy abyss. You have to survive the wailing trapped souls of this cold, lonely realm until you can try to vanquish the sadistic demon. You have a slight sliver of hope, as you are a veteran of the brutal psychic wizard wars and can shoot evisceration orbs.

This game was made for ShantyJam Level 7. It is probably the most mechanically simple game I have published so far, but the most aesthetically and tonally cohesive. I am especially proud of the color scheme and the pixel art for the demon.

Controls:

- A and D to move left and right respectively

- Spacebar to jump, hold it to jump higher and you can double jump

- Use Mouse to aim

- Left Click to shoot, the bullet has to land before you can shoot again

Avoid touching the demon and the ghosts. Try not to fall off the map. The platforms will slowly disappear over time.
