TO MAKE THE GAME BIGGER:

HOLD CONTROL AND SCROLL THE MOUSE WHEEL :)

CONTROLS: 
ARROWS, Z and X are my go to.
Hold ENTER while in the dungeon to see other available controls.

This game was created for the #LOSPECJAM1. It will be officially released on July 24th but if you're cool and are here before then, it's playable right now.

Sleeping under a favorite tree, our hero is visited by the arch nemesis MAGUS. The Magus sees this as an opportunity to seize control and take our hero into the depths of a nightmare.

In Boulder Mage and the Eternal Nightmare, you play as Boulder Mage trying to escape from his own nightmare. Using your handy staff you can control water droplets found in the sewers. Press and hold SWING to collect water, once you have 5 you can flood the entire stage of those pesky rats. Using JUMP you can jump in midair, and also jump as you slide down walls. It seems Magus has cursed any room with enemies in them and you cannot continue until all enemies are defeated. Can you stop The Magus? ...or will you forever be stuck in an ETERNAL NIGHTMARE?

I am the sole developer and started work on this game on July 10th of 2021. The story is a non-canon offshoot of my large project "Boulder Mage" but does not directly feature any gameplay from the larger project. The large sprites featured in the opening were art pieces I modified from another project to fit the rules, but the animation was created for this game. All sprites within the dungeon were made during the jam. 99% of the code is brand new with some minor exceptions from previous projects. I poured my heart into this one, I hope you all enjoy it.
