Emoticon is a 3D sidescrolling platforming game in which the player has 3 abilities. These 3 emotion abilities replace the standard punch, kick and destroy mechanics with something new and fresh. Joy is used to platform and jump, Anger is used to as the primary combat maneuver and Sad is the ability a player will use to reveal new areas and wash away the world. A unique twist is each one of these attack/abilities has an impact on the environment in real time, the world changes as they go further into one emotional state.
Welcome to our Milestone 2 video of our tutorial level for Emoticon the game. Our goal with this level is to introduce the player to our world , their emotional abilities and the main game play features. This is also an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our art style and direction.
Looks really cool, and confusing, but that's probably expected from a game like this. I like the move when the player is yellow and performs a dash as blocks scatter across the screen...nice :)
