This is an indie game that was originally made for a game jam for indie games. Everything was made by me (coding, pixel art, animation) except for the music which was from opengameart.org (see below for artists). Soul Chase is a Free to Play challenging 2D Action Platformer with retro pixel art graphics. It may take many tries, specially on the boss, but don't rage quit! It only takes a bit of practice ;)

You play as a knight who chases after his own soul through enemies, bosses and obstacles along the way. The knight was cursed by a witch in exchange for power. The knight is never allowed to sleep again, or his soul will escape from his body, and the knight has to run after it and catch it, or his soul will be taken by the witch.

The big problem is, the knight ALWAYS falls asleep so he has to chase his soul every night.

This retro game was inspired by a lot of retro style indie games with pixel art graphics. A very big inspiration is an indie game that has a blue knight in it, I don't know if I'm allowed to mention the title here but I think you know the indie game I'm talking about! It is also heavily inspired by NES classics. It was made by me, Aljon, a solo indie game developer! I hope you enjoy this challenging retro game as much as I did making it! :D

I made everything in the retro game except for the music, which was made by a friend or taken from open game sources i.e. opengameart.org, a great place for indie developers to find assets.

Music Arists:

Random Mind - Best Composer of Medieval themes ever. This guy is crazy good. And the best part is he gives his music to indie developers for free. Check him out.
