Our take on Death Game
The playful death-race premise receives most of the attention, while the store page gives less space to the game's compact structure: a campaign, an editor, shared custom levels, and the original game-jam version.
What is Death Game?
Death Game is a competition-platforming game built around reaching death before rival characters.
Players navigate hazards such as spikes, bounce enemies into lethal situations, and shut others out while progressing through a campaign. The game includes a level editor for creating custom stages, a list that tracks created levels, and the original version made for the HON Game Jam. Custom levels can be shared with friends. The store description also presents a humorous premise involving a wealthy organizer, a mysterious prize, and contestants competing through dangerous courses. The game began as a two-day game-jam project and was later expanded with additional content and features.
