  • Had no idea what I should be doing in the game. There was no direction on how to play the game. I pushed every button I could think of, but nothing would happen next to the levers. The music was good though

Tell us about your game!
The Show Must Go On is a first time attempt at a game by this team, It is a 2D top down arcade style game where you have to stop the creeping shadow hands from ruining the stage show. You play as a backstage worker and have to doge projectiles and craft the rune of talent to stop them and keep the show going. Craft the rune step by step by interacting with the work bench in each stage and find the correct lever to progress to the next stage

Wow!  We submitted a game with the same name! Similar idea with our characters being backstage workers. Very cool!

Fun game as well! Does the game repeat level 1 and 2? I couldn't get past that.

I changed the name of mine so it isn't confusing... xD
