Dark Queen is set in early 15th century Croatia. Players take on a role of the Crusader on a quest to rescue his beloved from the Dark Queen’s castle.

Inspired by Croatian literature and Slavic folklore, specifically the August Šenoa's The Snake Queen.

After a really long break from making games completely independently, my team and I have started working on our new game, Dark Queen I'm very excited to show off our progress and hear feedback from GameJolt community! Let us know what you think

There's no need for anyone to get hurt

I'm currently adding achievement to Link It Up! There will be 3 of them: * Completionist - for completing the game * Collector - for getting all collectibles * You Got It - for going half way through the game

You can now bounce off enemies as well. It's very satisfying when you succeed at it.
