The most important thing first:

• Controls:

  • J – Shovel
  • K – Weapon
  • Space – Select (switch weapon)
  • Enter – Pause
  • Space + Enter – Exit game

Now about the game: "Bearer of Blessings" is the result of my first Game Jam, and I developed the game entirely on my own. It was created using SDL, and for now, I’ve only uploaded a Linux version (built on Ubuntu 24.04).

How to Play:

The goal of each level is to dig a specific pattern with the shovel. To do this, there is a location where a key removes the stones and allows digging. This key can be hidden either above or below ground.

To know the pattern, you must collect all the required puzzle pieces. The number of pieces you need is displayed at the top of the screen. Once you have all the puzzle pieces, you can view the pattern in the pause menu.

Weapons:

You have three weapons at your disposal:

• The Sword
• The Slingshot
• The Holy Cross: This creates an aura around the player, damaging all nearby enemies. When the energy of the cross is depleted, you must wait for it to recharge.

Tools and Items:

• The Detector: Located at the top right of the screen, this indicates if there are items nearby.
• Stones: Used as ammunition for the slingshot.
• Hearts: These restore your HP.

Coming next:

For the next version, I have added doors. See the new pictures.
