Toy Hell
🧸 Toy Hell: The Curse of Victory
You survived. You fought. You won. But in this place, victory is not freedom.
Toy Hell is a game developed for the GMTK Game Jam 2025, centered around a haunting cycle of power and punishment. You play as a lone challenger who defeats the monstrous ruler of a cursed realm—only to discover that triumph seals your fate. The cycle begins anew. The curse passes on.
🎮 Features:
Intense combat against a grotesque boss
A dark narrative exploring the consequences of victory
Clean, minimalist UI using TextMeshPro
A psychological ending that reinforces the game’s looped design
🔧 Controls:
Move – W A S D
Attack – J
Soul/Body Switch – E
Note: Soul Mode has a 10-second cooldown. UI for this (I forgot). Sorry for the bad level design, started a little late

Created solo for the GMTK Game Jam 2025, under the theme “Loop.” The game explores narrative and mechanical repetition—both as a design choice and as a metaphor for entrapment.
The cycle doesn’t end. It only waits for the next player.

Great job finishing this jam!!! It's not easy to make a full proof of concept. One thing I'd be excited for this game is potentially finding ways to use Soul Mode as a tool in combat as well: when I first played through the game, I had expected to be able to teleport to where I ended Soul Mode.
I would also consider some contrast on the lighting so that it's easier to see the geometry of each level.
Good work and looking forward to what you do next! :o
