Struggle against difficult-but-fair enemies and bosses with smooth and snappy Souls-Like combat.
Dive deep within the Dream-Within-A-Dream, uncovering the many layers and secrets of It’s twisted psychological landscape, and overcome despair itself:

Watching over countless souls,
Now forgotten to themselves
Now it comes to claim another

was the bonetopix asset used for this?
The sprites in the demo here were hand-drawn.
The demo is relatively short, but doing all the animation work took me a long time.
So I created BoneToPix to help me finish this game. Pretty much all of the sprites in the game so far are quite simple, so they will be easy to replace and even improve using the tool.
A future version of the game will be using BoneToPix generated animations.
