Pull Sword From Stone

My second "game" that I made, for my second game jam. The engine used was GameMaker Studio 1, "self-taught" using tutorials from Shaun Spalding about 4 years earlier.

The jam's theme was pull. The premise is that when you pull the sword from the stone the magic sword shatters, sending magic shockwaves around you, taking out the enemies.

'WASD'     to move

'Shift'         to run

'R'              to restart level

Found out about a GameMaker Studio function 'choose' from this reddit comment

Waifu2x for upscaling assets that were different resolutions than I was using.

PASILAN and CRUIZRF on Game Dev Market through Humble Bundle for the rock the sword was in and the tiles for the background respectively.

The Wise Hedgehog for Bob, our fearless protagonist.

Yas for our swords.

Pipoya for enemy sprites and attack effects.
