About Death Leak

Death Leak is a 2d twin-stick shooter/platformer with an emphasis on exploration. Use the gamepad to fire throwing knives while avoiding enemy projectiles. Explore the world and figure out what caused the massacre of your village. Pick up notes, upgrade your abilities and find a way to escape these cursed lands.

Death Leak takes about an hour or less to complete.

All guts, no glory.

Stabbed and left to rot, a warrior must piece together the moments before the attack whilst avenging his fellow villagers.

Death Leak is an action game steeped in atmosphere and mystery. Explore the pillaged lands and destroy your enemies in a glorious hail of blood and guts.

Death Leak was built from the ground up by a solo developer. It was built using C++ and DirectX, and it uses the third party library, irrKlang, for sound.

I'm having a lot of fun, it took me a while to figure out there was a melee (tutorials didnt bring it up). Mostly just bunching them up and one good slash kills the group. One thing it could use is a mechanic to kind of drop down to lower platforms since currently I had to drop all the way to the floor and walk to the side the platform was on. The platforming on the waterfall can be a little tricky to land when you're trying to go back up, it seems like the corners dont really support you when you stand on them cuz you just fall off when you try to stand on it at the moment. I had to be very precise on my jumps to get out of there. Super satisfying to collect orbs and take out large groups of enemies. Twinstick platforming is a very unique approach that can feel wonky at first but once you get the feel for it it just comes so naturally and the combat becomes incredibly fluid as a result. I was switching between the throwing knives and the melee on the fly and able to do some pretty fun crazy moves.

This is a really enjoyable game, very satisfying to move around and throw knives, and has a nice learning curve to it that doesn't make it a walk in the park nor too difficult either. It's a nice length too, gives you time to improve but doesn't waste your time and become repetitive either, with some nice replayability too, I didn't 100% complete it, so I will have to come back.Also really like the aesthetics of the game, some nice effects in there! Would definitely recommend!

great game, pretty fun and in depth, love the audio, although it does become trivial once you get 2 or 3 specific upgrades :P a bug ive noticed is that sometimes when you enter a loading zone the game just crashes. other than that, love it :D

Death Leak is a brief but distinctive 2D action-adventure that blends shooting, platforming, exploration, and dark storytelling into a deliberately compact experience. Developed and published by Jay Bee, it follows a warrior who awakens after being stabbed and left for dead during a massacre that has devastated his village. From that grim beginning, the objective becomes a mixture of investigation, survival, revenge, and escape. Rather than spending a long time establishing its premise, the game places the player directly into the aftermath and allows the mystery surrounding the tragedy to unfold through exploration. The setting is one of the strongest elements. Death Leak presents a cursed and violent world where environmental details contribute heavily to the narrative. Notes scattered throughout the journey provide additional information, while ruined surroundings and disturbing imagery reinforce the feeling that something terrible has occurred. Subjects involving death, murder, suicide, and graphic violence make this a noticeably bleak adventure. The storytelling is relatively restrained, allowing players to piece together events rather than relying on lengthy conversations or…

It's fine, pretty simple and reminded me of the Flash Games I used to play. The only thing I will complain about is a bug when you get the grenade, if you throw the grenade and leave the screen the game crashes (it crashed my whole computer on one occasion).
