Dead Line Girl / Serenade of the Unrendered Mask
CONGRATULATIONS, 'PLAYER ENTITY #01'!
// a short little game that takes place during a 72 hour game jam // the 2025_WINTER_MELON_JAM, to be exact... // just a reminder! // anything not getting chosen for this final submission build // will be removed from the game // please try not to die immediately // it reflects very poorly on our testing… and our dignity // everything that is in here, is fighting not to be deleted // especially the girl // so, y'know… // maybe help a little?
// YOUR GOALS IN THIS PLAY TEST ARE... // DO NOT DIE // PRETEND THIS WAS WELL PLAY-TESTED // PLEASE ENGAGE WITH THE NARRATIVE // OUR MAIN GIRL? // She DESPERATELY needs it
Use the Arrow Keys to move.
Your ability at surviving determines whether our Maiden of the Unrendered Mask here, becomes a heroic contributor to this game jam submission… or just a sad, forgotten file in the Unity Assets Folder of Shame.
See anything glowing, glitching, or flying at your face?
You dodge it. And folks, that is your entire relationship with the projectiles in this game. Healthy boundaries people!
Press Space to advance any dialogue.
This reassures us that you are still emotionally present with us here during play-testing.
Oh yeah, we almost forgot to mention...
This level doesn’t just give you a hell of a lot of bullets thrown at you.....It also has a beat!
When the mark hits the bar at the bottom, Press Space.
IF YOU GET A HIT:
It counts. It matters.
IF YOU GET A MISS:
She gets hit a few good times… but she’s still here.
Good Luck! We hope you are good at focusing on two things at once....
