2D Puzzle Platformer

developed by FunVenture  |  Platforms: Unannounced


[gfycat data_id="JollyDazzlingIbadanmalimbe"][gfycat data_id="PerkyVapidHawaiianmonkseal"][gfycat data_id="BelovedReasonableJuliabutterfly"]

This a 2D sidescrolling platformer with puzzle elements.  It’s still early in development, pretty much moving from a prototype to an alpha stage.  I don’t normally cover stuff this early (some more gameplay would be nice) but I liked the art style and the main character gave me flashbacks to Cloudface.  They’re really not similar, but my brain can make major leaps. :P

Maybe something to keep an eye on, you can follow along on Twitter.

“A narrative-driven action/adventure, music-sampling, platforming, rhythm laser-light guitar solo kind of game”

“Your dialogue choices shape the backstory, image, charisma and the name of Francis’s new stage persona. There’s a plethora of extra-dimensional-animalia to interact with and sample with your field recorder. Play your samples back to gain access to new areas, hypnotize beasts, and create your own alien arrangements.

“Make landscapes sing with your movement. Play operatic guitar solos through your holographic amplifier. Climb mountains. Ford the planes of space and oblivion. Become an awe-inspiring entertainer from beyond the stars.”

[gfycat data_id="ComposedIncomparableCentipede"][gfycat data_id="AfraidAstonishingIntermediateegret"][gfycat data_id="FlickeringHighlevelBobwhite"]

An action platformer which is 4th in the Momodora series, but a prequel to the rest of the games.

“Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight explores a cursed land in decline. Evil spreads, the dead rise, and corruption reigns. Hope is but a faded memory for all but one, a priestess named Kaho from the village of Lun. An audience with her majesty, the queen, would surely save the land—but time is short and each night darker than the last.”

“FPS in which time moves only when you move. No regenerating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops. It’s just you, outnumbered and outgunned, grabbing the weapons of fallen enemies to shoot, slice, and maneuver through a hurricane of slow-motion bullets.”

“A rogue-lite river journey through the backwaters of a forgotten post-societal America. Forage, craft, evade predators.

“Travel by foot and by raft down a procedurally-generated river as you scrounge for resources, craft tools, remedy afflictions, evade the vicious wildlife, and most importantly, stay ahead of the coming rains.”

It’s out on Steam and Xbox One today.  Love the art direction.

“A minimalist puzzle game with soothing piano music.

“The rules are simple: Match the color patches on the board and reach the exit, all on one single path. Every tile can only be touched once before it falls into nothingness. The game gets harder as the levels progress, always accompanying you with relaxing piano tunes.”
