Phantom of the Stars

NOTE: Make sure you play in full screen or else the text boxes will be glitched!

--- Intro ---

This is my submission to the GameDev.tv 2024 Game Jam with the theme of Last Stand. The game I submitted to the previous year's jam, Sun and Moon, was my first ever jam submission. I thought it would be fun to do a sequel to that game for this year's jam. While the first game was my first ever jam submission, this new game is my first ever 3D jam submission. With this being my first proper 3D game,  there is going to be some jank, especially that camera, but I hope people enjoy it regardless.

--- How to Play ---

Control your little purple character and try to collect at least 5 crystals in the open area. As you play, a timer ticks down, indicating how much sunlight you have left. If the timer gets low enough, the night will start and a deadly ghost will come after you. If he touches you, you will die and lose all your progress. Collect sun tokens to give yourself more daylight and keep the ghost at bay. Once you collect five crystals, wait until nightfall and make your last stand against the ghost in a final confrontation!
