(here is a link to a short video trailer)

Tess is a platformer run-and-gun game. It follows the story of Tess, an odd little girl who had a bad day.

You run and you shoot and you can pick up exp to increase your total number of hearts.

I made this for the RPG Maker Indie game contest. If you like it please consider voting for it during the voting period (which began on July first and ends on July 31st).

I originally made this primarily for the contest (it's "complete" in its current form), but I'm pretty sure I'm going to expand the game/continue working on it after the contest is said and done (so it's not really complete at all!). Feedback is appreciated, since it will help me improve the game going forward from here.
