This game is not designed to run on your device. Add it to a collection to play later, or you can try to run it anyway.

Oh  no! There are souls stuck in the River Styx that don't know how to swim!  Become Charon and help ferry them across the river.  Beware: it's dark in there.  Use your lantern to spot hazards and defeat enemies!

Charon's River Ride! was made in 72 hours for Mini Jam 150: Magic.
The limitation of the jam was "Light is the way", so I made Charon's lantern be the key mechanic of the game.  With the lantern you are able to see where boulders are, and burn aggressive ghosts.

Controls:  WSAD to move, mouse to aim  lantern

I know there are plenty of plot holes with the game regarding the lore/mythology of the River Styx, so let's just say it takes place in an alternate universe, lol.


This was my second game jam ever, and this time I tried to focus on adding animations, SFX, and GFX as much as I could see possible, while keeping the number of mechanics low.
