CurseBuster

A DarcTyde Retro Arcade Game

THE GAME

DarcTyde's submission for the 1-Bit Jam #2.

Otto's family has been plagued by the mischievous "Incessant Annoyance of the Gleaming Orbs" for generations, and it's up to you to guide him through a quirky world filled with traps and absurd challenges. You must traverse the ancient Temple of Gleaming Serenity to return 100 glowing orbs, the source of Otto's family wealth, to rid his family of the annoying curse for good.

Featuring a 1-bit white and black aesthetic reminiscent of classic microcomputer games, CurseBuster tries to capture the essence of 1980s platformers. It is a nod to the retro gaming era, inviting you to experience a world filled with humor and surprises. Ready for a pixelated platforming journey?
