Description:

Arcana is a retro-style action platformer where players have to face a randomized set of challenges represented by a tarot reading at the beginning of each level. Depending on the cards that are dealt, players will have to defeat or avoid an onslaught of enemies until the timer runs out. A new fate awaits with every playthrough!

We greatly appreciate your ratings and comments :) 


How to Play:

Read your fortune to see what you need to defeat or avoid, and what you are immune to.

  • Enemies you need to defeat will attack you too.
  • Enemies you need to avoid will only hurt you if you attack them.
  • Enemies you are immune to will only appear to attack you, but will not cause damage.

Move: WASD

Jump: Spacebar

Attack: Mouse button or L


Developer's Notes:

  • The game doesn't perform properly when you click the blue full-screen button on the bottom right, so please enjoy our game in small-screen mode or use the transparent full-screen button on the bottom right. Sorry for this bug--we're still learning Unity!

This is our very first time making a game, and we had a lot of fun doing it. We hope to improve and expand Arcana in the future, so we really appreciate your support and critiques! Please leave a rating and a comment, and may luck be on your side :)

This game was created in 48 hours for the 2022 GMTK Game Jam.

at first if your unlucky it's confusing and hard but once you get the hang of it it's pretty fun and progressively gets easy. fun game

Thank you for your feedback! Balancing the difficulty between different deals was something we wanted to do, and make it progressively get harder as well, but we unfortunately ran out of time.
