Hello,
So its that time again where I show off my latest game;
The game is a puzzle platform and is inspired by 2 indie games that I fell in love with ... Limbo and One and One Story. The game is wrapped in a cryptic story throughout, leaving the player unsure of a lot of things. Im over half way through and really enjoying this one.
Would love to hear your thoughts and will try and get up a gameplay video at some point over the weekend.

Cheers Ace ... This is actually a different game to the one I was working on before, I've kind of left that one unattended since starting this one. This game, each level is on the one screen where as the other is bigger in scale and is more of a traditional platformer.
Graphics are superb, they are well balanced and gives the feeling of loneliness and dispare.
I'll be bookmarking this one.
Excellent as usual!

good luck to you
There are no on-screen controls except refresh and pause. Where the whole level is on the size of the screen, I didn't want controls covering bits that maybe important. The current control screen is just left and right side of the screen but there will be an option where you can revert to onscreen controls if you wish. Cheers dude
Seriously Mate,
Love it!, Cant wait to see more!
Cheers though mate, the competition is always high around here these days, soo many good developers producing great games!
Good on ya, I'm sure I'll prefer to be stabbed while walking,
haha, yeah, There will be skin and hair flying if we enter these into game of the month at the same time Cant wait for a gameplay video on this, Looks absolutely brilliant!, Reminds me of one of those "contre jour" top-charts apps!,

Im just hoping the gameplay lives up to the expectations now. ha. Haha .. Yes i'll announce if I need public betas, i have a select group I usually use
Yeah, Game of the month is getting fairly tough at the moment,
I'm guessing your dreading level design like we discussed?, I'm really starting to think it will be a long time before I make a platformer again I'm sure the gameplay will live up to the expectations, If its like the rest of your projects, I know its going to b really sweet!,
How many levels are you aiming for?, Is it 40?
This will start with around 40 levels yes.
lmao dammit white boy!
this limbo inspired game is gorgeous. i remember wanting to do something similar. but i didn't
Gotta love trees man, we'd struggle to be here without them Plus they're beautiful, they're scary, intriguing, weird, they're just sooo different from tree to tree.
Sorry guys, been a bit of a let down and didn't get a chance to record any video footage! I have put a lot of time in though over the weekend, making small changes all over to add more polish and have even been through about 3 different menu systems! But I now have the one I want Most the ground work has been put in so that will just need small changes as I complete the rest of the levels.
The majority of the menus is done to be fair, its a weird feeling for me, I normally leave this till right at the end but this time, its more or less completed with two thirds of the levels done.

Some bits are animated, there is rain and lightning in one of the 'worlds'. Problem is full screen animations of these are quite taxing so need to be careful.
And to see what the little white ninja kid is about.

The white kid doesn't do anything special ... He just plays a big part!
Ok guys so I haven't provided an update on this for a couple of weeks now. As promised, just a little bit late, I have now managed to knock up a video.
The video is some footage of the earlier levels and doesn't show off some of the cooler things but you'll get a sense of what its about and how its played. The music from the video is the music you'll hear in-game ... just without the sound effects you'll also hear.
Would love to hear your thoughts
