My libGDX Jam 28 Entry

Help the mage survive the Underworld.

The first four levels are time trials, so the fastest time is best.

Level 5 is survival mode.  Try to survive as long as possible, so the longest time is best.

You get a free weapon upgrade on Level 3.

Controls

Sorry did not have time for mouse controls.  Maybe post jam.

High Scores

Scores are saved via GameJolt API.  If you have a GameJolt userid, you can log in with your credentials, and earn trophies.  

If you do not have a GameJolt userid, its ok, just login as GUEST and select a username. The game will remember it, so you only need to do this once.

Your best scores are also saved to local browser storage. 

Instancing

This is a simple game, but its using instancing to draw 300 (plus 300 hidden) models on the screen.  Each individual instance has its location, rotation and scale controlled, while your GPU is doing very little work to render the scene.

Even on an old 2017 laptop with integrated graphics, I manage to get 27 FPS.

Newer hardware should perform much better.
