2D action/platformer game, tribute to the 90’s, with upgrades, secret passages, and even an annoying fairy-like companion. Coming on Steam, Ps4 and Xbox One the 20th of September Switch: TBA (2017) Pankapu is a colorful action platformer in which you can transform freely from Warrior to Archer or Mage. Switch wisely between your three Aegis and master them to fulfill your destiny and defeat Gangreyn, the Prince of Nightmares. Told in the manner of a fable read to a child, the game has two levels of reading: the story of Pankapu, epic and naïve in the dreamlike world of Omnia, and the one about Djaha’rell’s life, in the real world, dark and tragic.

In video games, boss fights are very important. When there is a boss, the player knows that this is the last test, that he/she must give everything to beat him for they can't finish the level if they don't beat the boss. And bosses help the player to realize he/she has passed a milestone, and is now stronger than before, and ready to go through a new level!

Moreover, bosses are the evil beings, that can cause some beautiful rage quits, and this lovely sound can be heard if you listen carefully : "THIS IS THE CONTROLLER'S FAULT!!"

I can't really spoil anything here (my bosses are showing me a "NDA" paper I don't remember signing...), I won't tell you the story of this terrible character, but I can at least tell you that the fight that will conclude the first chapter can be summed up in one word : "Epic". Brace yourselves, for Tyracine, the black-hearted shadow, is coming, mouhahaha!

Neat concept, slime meets hermit crab who find a house. The blinds as eyelids are a nice touch, is the door gonna be a mouth or something? I can't shake the feeling that it looks like another clay hut i've seen before, 2 windows 1 door and leaves popping out the top....or maybe it was a deformed beet.

Thanks a lot !
And yes, the door is designed to be its mouth, as the windows are its eyes :)
