Bound

Bound is a fast, bite-sized 2D survivor roguelite about balance. You play as an angel who auto-fires holy spears at enemies near your cursor. Each kill fills a corruption meter, when it maxes you become the Devil: you swap to a powerful katana, gain attack speed and score multipliers, but enemies become tougher and gems no longer heal. Switch back to Angel to heal and kite the hordes. The loop is a risk/reward dance: unleash fury to earn massive points, then retreat and recover. Short runs, simple controls, and juicy feedback — perfect for a game jam pick-up-and-play experience.Key features

• Two contrasting forms: Angel (range + regen) and Devil (melee + high score multiplier)

• Auto-aim spear for Angel; sweeping katana for Devil

• Simple, addictive score loop (Devil gives 3x score)

• Progressive enemy spawning with elite Vampire appearing after ~30s

• Pixel art using the Ephemera palette for a unified aesthetic

• VFX and audio: flashes, zoom punch, transformation SFX, looping music

How to play

• Stay alive as long as possible and get a high score.

• Angel: stay back, let spears do the work, pick up gems to heal, and build corruption.

• Devil: dive in, cleave groups with the katana, rack up points quickly — but don’t stay too long.

• Manage the corruption meter: kills speed the shift to Devil; time (and a few kills) control the return to Angel.

Controls

• Move: WASD or Arrow keys

• Aim / targeting: Mouse (we auto-fire at the enemy nearest the cursor)

• Menus: Mouse / Enter

Tips

• Use Angel’s slight speed advantage to kite and pick off enemies safely.

• Look for windows to farm as Devil — short, high-reward bursts are better than staying greedy.

• Use space between waves to recover as Angel.
