Curseball

Curseball is an top-down action roguelike game. Players control an unnamed character that can run and jump. Every level features platforms floating above a deadly pit as well as a ball, which moves at a constant speed and ricochets off the sides of the screen. The player must hit the ball enough times before a timer runs out in order to progress to the next level. Hitting the ball also gives an extra jump, which can be used to combo ball hits and increase score, which gets calculated at the end of a run. After every few levels, the player can choose one of three doors. Each door contains a group of curses, one of which will be randomly selected and will appear in the next level and every level afterwards. Curses are obstacles which will take a life if made contact with and provide the player a different set of increasingly difficult curse combinations every run. A run is ended when the player runs out of lives or fails to make contact with the ball before the timer runs out. The player can unlock color pallets after reaching certain score thresholds, which change the colors of the whole game and can be freely chosen in between runs.
