Exceed/Excess
A downloadable game for Windows
They say that God, in his shame, averted his eyes.
That on the night of the Bloodletting he glimpsed the vastness of man's sin and could bare to look no longer.
And thus, the Devil turned his gaze upon us instead...

A few game jam games I missed while in the heat of the jam, I was hoping to actually beat it but than ran into a bug at the dragon’s bank turning into gold?
Thanks so much for this! I fixed the problem with the gold. It wasn't actually a bug but bad design... One of your Major Excesses wasn't allowing you to perform the action (no complex spells or mechanisms) effectively softlocking you. To solve it you could have backtracked to a savepoint and used the excess menu to get rid of that excess, or used the other character to go through (if they don't have that excess too). Either way, it's never good if a system softlocks you and kills your progress so I've removed the block and also made it so that breaking out of the gold doesn't punish you with an excess.
Thank you so much for your time, I will watch your video asap and enjoy the heck out of it!
Interesting to play. My review…
Wow, thanks man, you're a legend! This was awesome to see :)
Glad you liked it. THanks for that!
