Scavenger
Scavenger is a platformer game following the journey of Alan as he ventures across a land to find parts to repair a robot.
This version is a very early prototype to test game functionality and is very incomplete.
Controls:
Left Stick / WASD: Move
A/Space: Jump
B/Alt/Mouse2: Spin
X / Left Shift on title screen: quit game
Start / Escape: Return to title screen
You can change character and customize the robot by approaching Jez and pushing button B. This UI is a crude proof-of-concept which has no thumbnails for any selections and can only change one option at a time. To change multiple options, push B near Jez again to re-open the menu. More options for this menu are unlocked as you collect boxes.
Any feedback or criticism is greatly appreciated!
Known Issues:
Enemies' animations freeze if the player is still in swipe proximity after the swipe animation is complete.
A button prompt that appears when in range of Jez is not yet created.
This game will display to VR headsets, but without any motion or orientation tracking.
Plans for possible future updates:
More and bigger levels
More robot parts
More player characters, (Frog, Beans)
Story cutscenes
Gun attack to defeat enemies from a distance, different effects based on specific robot customization
Slide attack to bowl over large clusters of enemies
Vice and Tank enemies
Give the robot a name
Use-at-own-risk VR mode
