Beasts of the Town is a story driven, action adventure game about a town full of talking animals.

If the game is too difficult, you can download story mode, which is a version of the game where you have more health.

Clicking main menu will start the game over so be careful. Worth noting, saving is disabled in the browser version of the game, you'll just restart at the last checkpoint. In addition the sound quality is significantly better in the downloaded version.

Controls: You can move using wasd or the arrow keys, attack with either x or left click, dash using shift and jump using z or space. You have I-frames when dashing. To drop through thin platforms crouch and jump.

(Don't tell anyone I told you about this, but I left in a little exploit. If you jump immediately after pressing dash you'll move diagonally upward with the dash velocity and jump velocity added together. You can then dash again while in the air. It is very useful for speed-running).

This project was created for Adventure Jam 2023.

Nice platforming and world building. I died a lot but I was expecting that.

Thank you. Sorry you died, hopefully it wasn't too frustrating lol.

What a cool game! Snakewomanraisingherchildalone/10

A nice break from the monotonous nature of most commercial games. This handcrafted tale is sure to make you squint in delight. 

9/10 - wonderful knack for character design
