“A short and challenging, story driven platformer with hand drawn 2D graphics. Set in a fantastical world, it tells a wordless tale of adventure and mystery.
“Influenced by the Oddworld series, Ico & Shadow of the Colossus, as well as Studio Ghibli films, Fossil Echo tells the story of a young boy and his journey to climb a giant tower in the middle of the sea.”

“A metroidvania carefully designed for mobile phones, we considered how you could achieve exploration and fast action with the touchscreen. The result was a bizarre, gravity-less world, with hidden beauty. Jumping from surface to surface, it’s up to Dandara to restore order and direct a direction-less world!”

“A modern, illustrative platformer, set in a world constantly reacting to your change in identity. You are Elvis. Home owner, triangular metal person and lover of dryness. A sudden thunderstorm leaves your house dissolved into a pile of rubble.
“Only lightning-fast reactions will keep you from a looming rusty funeral. Don your Shifty Suit to incognito yourself and and walk among suspicious hairy folk. Perilous puzzles and prejudiced platforms will bar your way in this deceptively complex gaming experience.”

“A 2D puzzle game about travelling between colored and monochrome dimensions. There are 5 worlds in the game, each with its own dimension-switching mechanic that allows the player to explore “What if…?”
“Each puzzle has its own idea and is unique – there is no arbitrary filler content. Colored does everything it can to give a pure and interesting experience. “

A vampire hunting puzzle platformer where you can fire stakes into the sides of the game window, locking them into place or pulling them towards you, in order to overcome various obstacles. This was made for Ludum Dare 35, the theme being shapeshift.
I apologize for the glitches (flashes) in the gifs. My computer, the game, and the recording software just wouldn’t make peace. Sorry. >.<
In certain parts of the expedition, the game window travels around the screen, which I thought was a neat little trick. Playing over my twitter feed below. :)

A quirky pixel art platformer. The developer previously made Planet Diver, a top down arcade shooter.
“Slime-san was minding its own business, sliming around in a peaceful forest when suddenly…A giant worm appeared and gobbled it up! Now deep within the worm’s belly, Slime-san has to face a decision: Be digested by the incoming wall of stomach acid… Or jump, slide and slime its way through the worms intestines and back out its mouth!”
