🌀 OLD NIGHTMARES

Version: PostBRJ25 - v0.3.17.50.60

A SPIN-POWERED CHALLENGE

Old Nightmares was created for the Boss Rush Jam 2025, embracing the SPIN theme in every aspect of its design. From the way the protagonist spawns, jumps, and throws their deadly boomerang, to the bosses, projectiles, traps, and even the environment itself—everything revolves around this concept!

Get ready for a challenging boss rush where precision, strategy, and reflexes are the keys to victory.

Face off against formidable foes in a fast-paced battle system that challenges your mastery of movement and attacks. Each boss brings unique mechanics, forcing you to adapt and overcome.

Can you conquer them all and prove your strength?

Features:

  • Challenging boss fights with unique attack patterns
  • Precise and responsive controls for fluid combat
  • A dynamic stamina system that adds depth to every action
  • Stylish pixel-art visuals and immersive sound design

Story:

In Old Nightmares, you play as Luki, a warrior trapped in a cycle of endless nightmares. Each boss represents a fragment of your darkest fears, and only by defeating them can you hope to escape. But beware-the nightmares are relentless, and every victory brings you closer to the truth...

Prepare yourself for an unforgiving yet rewarding experience. Good luck, warrior!
