Hero Quest
Once upon a time, there was an ordinary man who lived in an ordinary town, but one day, the fate of the world was in danger, and he was the only one who could save it.
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move your character around. Walk into people or objects to interact with them, and walk into enemies to attack them. Press any key to advance text while in text boxes.
This game was created for a class assignment game jam. The theme was the topic of the "Hero's Journey." I created a game with a story that follows the structure of the Hero's Journey. I also tried to implement the gameplay into the story rather than simply telling the story passively.

This is pretty well done, congrats! Functionally it is pretty perfect, though I'd say having many enemies, each of which you need to go through the killing text gets annoying very quickly. Creativity wise, I like what you did with the story and set pieces. Would have liked to see more visual variety and animations though. Fun wise, that last bit was actually pretty amusing, nice creative use of a boss fight. Wish to see more of that. Thematically this is very on point except for certain story beats are missing, like refusal of the call, and the downfall of the hero before their upgraded return. Otherwise, good.

I really liked the game, especially its connection to the theme, I think that it was very clear and executed in a meaningful way. Battling the small monsters was slightly repetitive, but I loved the mechanic of the dragon battle and really enjoyed it. Great job!
