You're a mere peasant who has made your way to compete in the Hyperlight Showdown Arena. Your goal is to fight to the death to prove your power to the robotic takeover. You'll be swinging, sliding, climbing and wall running around an arena to kill all the enemies as fast as possible!

Team Name: Tigershark Studios

Context behind project: We are a small team of 3 who took part in the NEW ANGLIA GAMES JAM, running from THE 17TH - 21ST JUNE 2024.  We had to meet the theme of 'Cause and Effect' , our interpretation on this was having it so that when a round finishes you go to the shopkeepers and you get choices between upgrades for your character and weapon. These upgrades will boost one thing while lowering another. The cause is the player picking that specific upgrade and the effect for example is them losing health but gaining speed.
