A downloadable idea for Windows

From the creative minds of MGK and Quantu, prepared in a stunning 48 hours for BialJam 2023, comes the ultimate test of survival and strategy - "HELP! Vikings keep on griefing my island!". Step into the shoes of an island's brave defender against a relentless Viking onslaught. Will you rise as the hero or be swept away by the invaders?

In "HELP! Vikings keep on griefing my island!", you are the last line of defense against waves of Vikings, determined to seize your beautiful island. Utilize the resources around you to gather and craft your armory, mining essential minerals and creating deadly weapons to hold back the tide.

Discover the ancient power of runes hidden across the island. Harness these potent symbols to unleash devastating attacks on your enemies, or provide critical aid to your defense. Each rune provides a unique advantage, so strategize your discovery path and change the tide of the battle. (Or add more health lol)

And don't face the horde alone! Our game features a cooperative mode for two players. Team up with a friend and fight off the invaders together using gamepads. Who said the life of a defender had to be a lonely one?

Game Controls:

  • Left Stick: Move your character across the scenic island terrain.
  • X: Pick up or drop objects. Essential for crafting and utilizing resources.
  • A: Interact with your environment, including crafting stations, rune shrines, and more. (Rune shrines sold separately)
  • B: Attack the invading Vikings or mine resources. Balance your actions wisely!

Join us in this thrilling challenge against the Viking hordes. The island calls for its hero. Will you answer?


WARNING: It is a very early prototype - like, extremely early so expect major bugs, not so epic gameplay etc. If you still like the idea behind the game you can follow MGK on twitter when he'll probably post updates on the full game at @mtgwkl  (yes, it will be continued). Cheers!

ALSO: If you for whatever reason want the source code (or you're the jam organizers and demand it) you can find it here.

Install instructions

Just unpack it, - you need two controllers to play, there is no keyboard input nor singleplayer (unless you leave the one player on the island unattended)
