12 Days to Die

12 Days to Die is technically unfinished, but it's still pretty playable. -- At the last minute I shoehorned in a high score mode, so you can at least kill some bad guys, and do a little exploring.

The premise is that a dark wizard is taking over the land and filling it with his monsters, and in 12 days time (in game; 12 minutes IRL), he will finish his spell and destroy all of humanity and you have to stop him!

You can't actually beat (or find) the wizard though ('cause unfinished) -- but there are powerups that are sometimes dropped by the bad guys you kill, that do make it so the game could technically go on forever... if you don't run out of time. 😉

Powerups:

• Red gives you health (half a heart)
• Blue gives you time (7 seconds IRL, or ~.1 days in game)
• Yellow gives you additional points (15 pts!)

So kill the heck out of those baddies and rack up a score!

Controls:
I recommend using a GamePad, and then you can just use the left stick to move, and the right stick to rotate the camera, A to jump, and any other button to attack.

On the keyboard though, your best bet is arrow keys + Ctrl and Space (with Q, E or Del, and PgDn to rotate the camera).

[Note on MacOS, Ctrl + Arrows seem to be a no-no, so use Shift instead? -- or just get a gamepad. 🤷🏻‍♂️]

(other non-documented combinations work too though, like mouse clicks count as attacks and W, S , A, D will work as arrow keys, but that's just weird.)
