Devlog 29 - Designing the Nutcracker Army
The enemy cast is starting to become a real roster, with different silhouettes, movement ideas, mouths, and attack personalities.
A hand-drawn arena survivor about a
ninja jockstrap defending his family's jewels.
Run around, punch enemies, survive waves, collect upgrades, and slowly turn Jack into a more ridiculous fighting machine.
About the game
Jackstrap is an early-in-development arena survivor made in Godot with hand-drawn art and animation.
The current focus is making the core loop readable and satisfying: movement, enemy pressure, punch direction, upgrades, visual clarity, and the general feel of surviving a messy arena full of enemies.
