Welcome to Draydoll. 

A thread of fate binds the kingdom’s prosperity to the wellness of its ruler. An ancient evil has rendered the monarch, King Linen, throne-ridden for decades, and thus doomed the lands to poverty and famine. Play as Cotton, a doll whittled by a late Spinstress and animated by her love and desire to heal her kingdom. After recklessly storming the Royal grounds, she finds herself captured and must participate in combat to reclaim her freedom.

Goal:

Reach 20,000 Knots (currency), then complete a wave.

Controls:

  • WASD to Move
  • Left Click to Attack
  • Right Click to Parry
    • Left Click after a successful parry to Counter Attack
  • Hold E to Interact

Unlockable Skills: (Purchased in the Crypt)

  • Left Shift to Shear
  • Spacebar to Whorl

Torque:

Many actions (movement, successful hits, etc) build torque, the driving force behind Cotton's arsenal.  Skills also come at a cost of torque, but generate more if used effectively. The higher your torque, the quicker you move, and thus the quicker you kill enemies, netting you more money. Proper torque management is the key to success.

Developed by BBnCo in collaboration with DanckiGames.
This game was created for The Very Serious Juniper Dev Game Jam.

Developer's Note: The game is still very unfinished!
There are definitely plenty of bugs  "intentional game design" to be found.
Not to mention, there is currently only one enemy available, haha!
We had more during development, but they weren't complete enough to ship with the game, unfortunately.

Patch: Fixed and re-enabled enemy variety! along with some other bugs (notably dialogue not playing when purchasing items, and health upgrades only costing 10 knots, and slight tweaks to difficulty scaling).

If you want to experiment with the mechanics of the game without sitting through waves of monotonous waves of slimes, 

Press 1 to gain 1000 knots, and Press T to gain some torque to use abilities with!

If you'd like to see the game (or premise) updated, or even expanded into a larger project, like say a full Action/Adventure Exploration game, make sure to let us know!
We had originally planned for such, but it was outside the scope of this game jam :(

Thanks for playing and reading this far!  - BBnCo and DanckiGames
