Hello everyone!

My third metroidvania (after Super Roboy and Grumpy Jack), set in Japanese folklore, is coming along alright, and I figured I’d post a little update.

You can wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4534260/Kodama_Slumber_of_the_Gods/

The game focuses on fluid platforming, melee combat, and has a (very skippable) mythological story.

Thanks, and have a lovely day!

CHICKAROO: a free, handmade 2D platformer you can play in your browser

Post image
1 Upvotes

I've been building CHICKAROO, a 2D platformer about a small, determined chick, for a while now. Fruit of my imagination first and foremost, all helped with Claude, Codex and Gemini in concert to build it and tune it. It has over 10 stages Each stage brings its own new mechanics and will feel familiar to players used to platformers, it's an hommage to a few of the classics. there are also power ups to experiment with. The game doesn't contain a single image file. Every character, enemy, background and effect is drawn live in real time in code on every frame with an engine built from scratch in pure html/javascript zero prebuilt livbraries or anthing, and all the sound effects are generated in real time with Web Audio. That's about 40,000 lines of plain JavaScript, with no engine and nothing to install. It runs in the browser on desktop with a gamepad, or on your phone with touch controls. The best way to experiencie it is not with touch controls or keyboard but with a gamepad plugged in , ideally on a pc with a gamepad (or on mobile with a gameplay it works very nicely too). The music is generated from custom prompts in google lyria. Enjoy the ride 🐣

What if you could control the platforms themselves, not just the character? 🤯

I'm developing SHUNYA, a 2D puzzle-platformer where you control a girl while using magic cubes to manipulate the environment.

🔥 Change the size of a Fire Cube, and the wooden objects around you change size too!

Instead of just jumping over obstacles, you can interact with the world itself to solve puzzles. 🧩

I'd love to hear what you think of this mechanic!

My first demo of PLATFORM ACADEMY: A academy that trains platformer heroes

Thumbnail
youtube.com
0 Upvotes

Hi! This is the first demo of Platform Academy, a small 2.5D platformer I'm making solo in Unity, inspired by Level Devil.

The idea: you're a student at an academy that trains future platformer heroes. Every lesson is a level full of troll traps (floors that lie, doors that run away...), and your teacher and classmates watch from the stands, roasting you every time you fail. When you finally reach the door, your character fires back at whoever mocked you last.

It's an early demo with 5 lessons, playable for free in the browser: https://jasbgd.itch.io/platformer-academy

The UI is in Spanish by default, but you can switch to English in the menu.

I'd love feedback on two things:

Do the traps feel funny or just frustrating?

The current school setting isn't final. Would you prefer a fantasy academy (wizards, knights, enchanted traps)?

(I used some AI tools to help with code and audio.)

Looking forward to your thoughts, and thanks for checking it out!

Why is 2d platformer not so popular genre currently?

13 Upvotes

I love 2d platformer. Specially pixel art platformer.

I really concentrate to play in it.

I mean, I can dive into it deeply although it’s pixel retro art platformer.

But why is it not so popular genre on steam specifically?

Hey! This is Kernel Panic: The Last Build, a creation platformer set inside a dying network that’s slowly falling apart.

Everything you build with is a window on the desktop. In this video:

  • Wardrobe: step onto a pedestal and mix hats, heads and costumes into your own outfit
  • Stickers and decorations: stick anything anywhere, and grow 3D plants on any surface
  • Labels: type your own words and print them as cross-stitch or embossed Dymo tape
  • Temp File: a material that dissolves when you send it a signal
  • Physics: rope swings and a brand new drop kick

Tell me what you think?

I'm making a 3D platformer where you defeat bosses using movement abilities!

Hey everyone!

I'm a solo indie developer working on A Cube's Choice, a fast paced 3D platformer where you use different movement abilities to navigate obstacles and fight bosses.

Here's one of the boss battles! I've been experimenting with making boss fights revolve around movement rather than traditional combat.

The game is also participating in Steam Next Fest, and there's a free demo available if anyone wants to try it!

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4866610/

Hope you enjoy the fight!
