Description & Modes

Here is the description of the game and the associated game modes for this title.

A Murder of Crows [v.01] is a 2D platformer inspired by Unfair Mario (2011). The game was developed in 5 days and submitted to a private rapid ideation event, the theme being, 'A Crow Priest' (Dixit Card). Get the 'Crow Priest' (player) to the end of the map with minimum casualties. Use crows to scout the map and overcome frustrating obstacles.

The jam lasted for two weeks. Week 1 was for planning, and week 2, was for production. Below are my production days during week 2. The art is outsourced (except for the player sprite), and the sounds were obtained from either 'freesound.org' or YouTube (Copyright free).
