Forbidden Sanctuary
Made for the Beginner's Jam Summer 2024.
As the theme is Outside the Boundaries!
This game focuses on the element getting out of the boundary of the protagonist's father as he is being kept inside for years. In the meantime also trained by his father.
It is a short quick combat movement platformer game. As my first game ever, I am really proud of it! This game jam has really pushed me to learn so so much in a very few days and implement it in the game.
I wanted to implement health bars and indicators, but I think that would take the fun and challenging part out of it for a short game like this.
So just battle your heart out and enjoy the game!

You did an outstanding job with the character animations and game feel!
Not only is the game great, but you also added a large library of resources for anyone who’d like to try their hand qt game development. I’m glad to see myself there and to have helped you on achieving this great achievement!
Keep up the good work! 🥜
This is great! I'm super impressed that its your first game! The music and sfx are brilliant too. Fantastic :) If you do manage to add more I think it could only be a good thing. You could very well carry this on after the jam has ended and develop it into a full game. It has potential :)
p.s. I noticed the bgm in the level is coming from a single point in the space rather than being global.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I really appreciate it. Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I will :)
I'll take note on the bgm, you're right I didnt implement any game manager to swap scenes and have a global audio player.
The game is too short. It is done at a good level, but 2 minutes is not enough to enjoy the game. I hope that you will add something else to this game. You have three more days.
Thank you for your feedback! I'll see what I can do
Nice i love the game
Thank you! Glad to hear that
