The Beach (demo)
A downloadable game for Windows
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
visuals, mechanics and features are still wip. If something is behaving weirdly be sure to tell me and I'll fix it asap! 👌
/// Warning! Some flashing lights and colors
This beach is a dangerous place. Try to survive 15 waves of weird monsters using your fists, a sword or even these strange rocks you found.
- Use different direction inputs when attacking to use different moves as they each have different properties that will be useful.

While I usually don't play this kind of game I had a lot of fun jumping around and punching monsters :D Very impressive what is already possible in this demo! Really looking forward to the full thing!
thanks so much for trying it out and covering it! 😌Can't wait to update it
This is a fun little demo! Personally, I had a lot of trouble with the controls (in particular, WASD for a game without a mouse and spacebar for anything but jump really threw me off) but it seems you'll be adding key rebinding soon which is nice. Since I couldn't use the controls very well, I felt like I was missing out on some of the fun of the game, but it was still satisfying just to hit things and throw stuff and jump around. I think I'll try it out again once key rebinding is added
and I no longer have an excuse to be bad at the game. Looking forward to the full game!Thanks for trying it out! I come from a background that's very used to WASD so it's kinda my go-to haha But yeah, hopefully I can get rebinding in pretty soon for y'all.
