Baconjam 08 - Soul Runner

Today was the end of the Baconjam, reddit's annual game jam competition. Some friends of mine and I participated this year for the first time. Originally we were to compete in the Captivate Game Jam but this was unfortunately canceled so instead we found this gem of a competition.

The theme was "There were millions of them" so in the celebration of October, we created a fun little side scrolling endless runner/brawler called Soul Runner. The objective is to collect 1000000 lost souls in a cave of evil filled with spirits and skeletons. This of course was a 48 hr competition and we came a bit late to the party so our efforts were of about 30+ hours for 3 people, however I think that our final product was a success regardless.

Here are some screenshots of the game:


You can also play the game in the browser by going to our game jam page and pressing the web link: 

This is actually the second game jam that I have competed in this year. The first was the Humble Bundle/RPG Maker game jam back in July. You can still play Corruption here:
