The Ferryman

You are Charon, ferryman of the underworld. The souls of the dead seek to cross the river Styx on their path to the real of Hades. You help  the souls reach the other side.

Alas, a war is raging in the world of the living, so many more souls than usual come to the shores of the river. Hurry, ferryman, before the wandering souls get lost!

Gameplay

Play a match-3 game to help the souls of the recently deceased cross the river Styx so they can reach the underworld. It is a battle against time as the souls arrive with an ever increasing rate, so eventually you will not be able to keep up. Try to get as many passengers over the river as possible before this happens!

Controls

There is a how-to-play available in-game. You just need a mouse to play. Optional controls are

• M: toggle music

• -: decrease music volume

Other Information

The game has been made with Godot during and for the Godot Wild Jam #9. I wasn't able to implement everything I had in mind, but it is playable and as polished as I could to in that time.

I used a custom build and export templates for Linux and Windows, so there might me engine related bugs. The Windows version is only tested via wine, there were some audio issues on my side. For the MacOS-Build I used an export template kindly provided by Hugo Locurcio at https://hugo.pro/projects/godot-builds/. I could not test that due to unavailable hardware, so I can't offer any support for that.

Third party assets
