Aztech

[MADE FOR THE 2019 KSU FALL JAM]

Made in 48 hours for the Kennesaw State University 2019 Fall Game Jam by a team of 9 people.

Story/Setting

In a distant future, Aztec society has prospered to a point of technology so advanced those within society consider it magic, but history and cultural expectations mean that others would rather not abandon their roots of traditional blood magic. Tensions rose, and now the society is divided into two respective groups with differing beliefs. Skirmishes between these two groups have broken out all over, with the goal of eliminating the other side completely as to direct mankind's evolution to come.

Naturally, being a user of both makes this an awkward situation for you. Luckily, you happen to be kind of a badass, and you know everything is not entirely as it seems. Someone's manipulating both sides for their own gain, and you just happen to know exactly where to find them.

Gameplay

Azetch is a 2.5D beat-em-up with scrolling and mini-arena wave sections. You have four attacks and can move as would be expected, forward/backward and up/down. Attacks are divided into two types, tech attacks and magic attacks.

Tech attacks are weaker, but when used generate heat that builds up and can cause you to overheat. While overheated, you are unable to use tech attacks until you've cooled down. Magic attacks are very powerful, but require and use a certain amount of blood that is gained in a meter from killing enemies.
