Sandy – A Scrolling Platformer Set in the Desert of Peril

Immerse yourself in Sandy, a hand-drawn 2D scrolling platformer where survival depends on quick reflexes and sharp timing. Journey through the unforgiving Desert of Peril—a landscape packed with spinning saw blades, hidden spikes, and agile sand monsters.

Core Controls & Combat

Movement: Use WASD or Arrow Keys to run, jump, climb ladders, and scale select trees.
Combat: Press the Spacebar to swing your sword. Enemies can only be defeated with an active blade.
Hazards: Chains are passable, but saw blades attached to them are lethal. Water does not harm you.

Progression & Power‑ups

Checkpoints (implemented by @Timmccool) save your progress mid‑level.
Transformation Boxes grant temporary high‑jump ability.
Portal at the end of the stage completes the adventure.
