Decided to make a game about a little reaper collecting souls. Here's the art I've made so far, which took about 3 hours.

Going from left to right, top to bottom, there's the walking animations for the Little Reaper with no mask, with a mask, and with a scythe.
Below that, there's his death animation, losing the mask, and losing the scythe. The mask and scythe will be like power-ups (equivalent of mushroom and fire flower respectively, though not ranged). Finally, below those are the animation for the scythe slash, and the souls you'll be collecting along with it's collection animation.

Had a nightmarish time trying to get certain things to work in Godot, but finally figured it out and have bare-bones playable game. I unfortunately needed to scrap half of the slashing animation, as it was taking too long to be comfortable to use. The timing on a jumping slash was impossible with the long wind-up, but only learned that through play-testing, haha.

Also, excitingly, I got assistance from a musician who made some awesome background music for the game! I'll have a more visual update after I implement a few more features and get a decent map made to show it all off in.

Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to finish anything playable in time. I ran into problems with the engine and this was compounded by loss of internet due to a storm, so I couldn't look things up. I'll keep working on it regardless and you can follow the progress on my itch.io page or my twitter.

I'm disappointed I couldn't get it done in time, but it was still a great learning experience.
