Orpheus

This is the GitHub repository for our Ludum Dare 48 submission titled "Orpheus".

The submission page can be found here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/orpheus

The theme was Deeper and deeper.

Relive the ancient fable of Orpheus rescuing his beloved Eurydice from the depths Hades, beat by beat! Delve through layers of Hades battling gorgons, cyclops, hydras and more with your trusty lyre.

The gameplay is akin to 2D roguelike dungeon crawlers with combat being carried out in a call-response minigame. The visuals are styled after old gameboy titles with 8-bit graphics (for the most part) and a restrictive colour palette.
