Until Death Do Us Part

Description

In *Until Death Do Us Part*, love is not just forged—it can be shattered and reclaimed. You play as a heartsmith, a guardian of affection now wielding a divine hammer not to mend, but to take back what was lost. This hauntingly beautiful pixel-art action game blends emotional storytelling with fluid combat, featuring combo-based attacks, aerial maneuvers, and powerful special moves. Crafted solo during the XAMK Game Jam in 2023 over 44 intense hours, the project highlights hand-drawn animation, dynamic combat systems, and expressive visuals. While the narrative takes a backseat to artistic experimentation, the result is a striking, atmospheric experience. Playable via keyboard or controller (with two input versions available), the game encourages feedback on control schemes due to non-standard controller mappings. A personal journey in game development, *Until Death Do Us Part* proves that even broken love can fuel a powerful creation.
