Controls:
AD or Left Right Arrow keys to move left and right, W/Up/Space to jump.

You can press R/O to retry if you get stuck.

Not all enemies are foreigners, there are also those from within... Traitors have slandered the noble knight and now the plague doctors want to put him in quarantine. If they catch him, the enemy will slaughter the noble knight in quarantine. 

Save the knight for king and country!

Made in ~ 12 hours.

Tools Used:

Game made in Godot, using audio made in https://beepbox.co and graphics made in https://krita.org/en/.

Font from https://www.dafont.com/old-london.font

Note About Theme:

We kind of wanted to go with something between "a lot of" and "quarantine" as that was the name of the jam. Since we were late entrants we saw the earlier submissions generally picked a theme between these and so we also tried to follow suit. You could think of it as "a lot of plague doctors are trying to quarantine you".

Distance: 29013, 6 plague doctors on screen is seemingly a soft-lock

I love the setting and the intriguing quotes when you die, they give the game a ton of personality. The glowing moon, the big shadows of other buildings moving with the parallax effect, the plague doctors...it´s very moody, I´d love to see more locations and characters with this style.

That's the good to hear, out artist worked very hard. I guess this sort of is his "unique" style, so you can expect to see it if we ever do any more games in the future

WASD is most famous, but use space for jump is more confortable...good job for graphics!

Thanks, our artist worked really hard on it :D

We're actually patching that in right now, thanks for the input :)

In the controls there is scirtto Left, S right, but in reality we move with A and D ... to jump it is inconvenient to use the W key, I would have preferred the space key

Apologies for the typo, we might consider adding in arrowkeys+space support, personally I also prefer that but we decided to go with WASD since it's become so popular (read default)
