This is a game where you play as a spirit of a child who remembers nothing from her past life. Completely dependent on her spirit companion, who was the sole reason for her being awake, she traverses an Earth which has been completely taken over by nature and unfamiliars. As you try and figure out who you were you must get through the many obstacles and enemies set before you. A 2D platformer utilizing the mouse to control your spirit companion for movement with the mechanic of teleportation rather than jumping. This version is my attempt at creating the mechanics while also making it work with the actual gameplay.
Download the Zip file, extract all, then run SLING with the Data in the same folder
As a 2D platformer i wanted to try something different features:
- Movement: Players will control both the main character with the basic "AD" input and also the spirit companion with the mouse, instead of jumping players will be able to teleport the main character to their spirit companion with the "Space" key
- Resource Management: Teleporting drains your companion so choose wisely when to teleport. You can refill energy by acquiring drops around the map or by destroying unfamiliars.
- Penalties: Since you'll be playing as a ghost you can’t die however coming into contact with enemies will drain your energy leaving incapable of moving and so the only way to go around that would be to restart, which could be just as annoying as seeing a death screen
This is my first actual game and will continue to further develop and extremely keen on what feedback or suggestions you may have for me, if you would​ like to contact me directly my email is jasonny8899@gmail.com
