Description

About the Game

There are more things in that book, Victor, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Join Victor's bizarre adventure in the family basement. Discover enormous minions and dangerous nasties hidden in the shadows of the cellar. What shady secrets are buried under the house? Why are some pages in this mysterious book missing? And why the heck is there a Dracula in the basement?! The fate of the world rests on Victor's skinny shoulders! Will you save the world or get grounded by mother?

The goal is simple – destroy all Jars!

JARS is a strategy game featuring puzzles and elements of tower defense.
Break all the jars and protect the Sarcophagus – that's your main goal!
Think fast and plan strategically – each level requires you to adapt.

Distinct art style inspired by spooky and funny classics

Hand-drawn art that perfectly reflects the mood of an old, grim cellar with a little bit of dark humor.

Jars focuses on randomization and adaption

The player can never be certain what is inside a jar – each reveal is exciting.
New mechanics and situations in each level will fill your journey with surprises!

An absolute "not recommended" to anyone. It does not matter if the art style is quirky, or 'to your liking'. The game play loop is atrocious. 'World' 1-3 is fine, world 4 is where RNG comes in to play so incredibly

The heavy reliance on RNG quickly becomes frustrating, and the final insult is having to purchase essential minions from the store at absurd prices just to progress. Instead of unlocking them naturally through gameplay,

Enjoyable little tower defense game with unique aesthetics! Really liked the vibes, though the game does get repetitive after some time. Still! I do recommend giving it a try, especially when it’s on sale, considering

Jars is literally just the vase breaking minigame from Plants vs Zombies stretched out for a whole game, and just like that minigame it is damn addicting. There are a couple minor annoyances that could be a turnoff for
