Throughout your journey on the island, you might face some pretty tough foes. I know what you’re thinking… “gee, it sure would be nice if I could collect an assortment of cool items that power me up in a variety of ways and they can fit into a satisfying little grid,” right? That
is what you’re thinking, right…?
Well if it
is what you’re thinking, you’re in luck, because Stomp and the Sword of Miracles has exactly that! With
relics, you can add little abilities or change up your gameplay in all sorts of helpful ways!
As you explore, you’ll find relics you can equip tucked away in the hidden corners of the island. The more powerful the relics are, the more space they’ll take up in your grid, and some shapes might not fit together so nicely. You’ll have to figure out your own balance between quality and quantity of upgrades!
You can also rotate them to fit different shapes together more easily! Some relics will even behave differently depending on how they’re rotated. It’s a lot of fun.
Here’s a few relics and their descriptions! Some of them are uh… works in progress, as you can probably tell.
This system has been a lot of fun to work on, especially thinking of some weird abilities and ways for relics to behave. For some relics, I’m taking a bit of inspiration from Balatro’s jokers, where some of them are really powerful but come with weird tradeoffs where you have to make moves that aren’t optimal under normal circumstances if you want to squeeze out their full potential.
I’m so excited to share more about this game soon!
