THIS GAME WAS MADE AS AN ENTRY TO BOSS RUSH GAME JAM 2025

Sometimes, one must lose one's way of beginning anew. Deserts are like dreams, a blend of illusions—some beguiling, others perilous. Like an ocean of reverie, we must sometimes wander through them, confronting our fears to uncover our path, our oasis.

Thus, Alya found herself adrift in the emptiness of the Hulm, gliding on her helix wand. She seeks her oasis after losing herself in pursuit of a being that was never there. Alone with her reflection, will she falter once more amidst new illusions, or find within herself the breath to return?

Set in a world inspired by the dreamscapes of One Thousand and One Nights and an intimate inner journey, the player is invited to explore a realm where the true enemy is the mind itself, often leading us to spin down the wrong path.

Alya is a small fennec who uses a helix wand to fly around in the desert and fend herself against enemies lurking between the illusions.

Here is a recap to help you understand how it works : 

To walk around the desert use WASD.

To jump use SPACE.

To fly or hover maintain SPACE.

To attack while flying : jump and LEFT CLICK on the boss.

To meele attack use LEFT CLICK near the boss.

To pause the game use P or ESC
