Penpo Armor is a platformer game in development in the vein of Monster World with Demon's Crest and Blaster Master inspirations.

Thanks! I have a ton of images to upload over time, but I didn't want to add everything all at once. If you're interested, I have a lot of video footage of the game on YouTube. Smiley

Thanks! It's a huge amount of work that will amount to two games in one basically, but it should pay off in the end. Smiley

Here is Penpo's Wing Armour in various stages of progress.
She rides in the head/chest area.
The swords shoot blade projectiles.
In one of the later images, you can see her sword being used as an electrified blade whip.

Further progress. Here we see Penpo's Wing Armour wielding its Magnetic Rail Swords.
They have many functions.
They shoot blade projectiles and they can also be used
as electrified, segmented whips.

Got Penpo's animal familiar RPG system going.
There has been a magic point bar added since this update as well.
The blue wisp from the enemy is XP.

Here's a few new stills from Penpo Armor.
I'm trying to add more detail and depth to the world.

Looks like a lovely game. You might benefit from some art direction.

May I ask what tools you're making to build the game?

What aspect of the art do you not like? I make everything myself.
I want it to match the style of the Master System and the Genesis.
I make everything in Game Maker Studio.
Thank you!

The art is fine, it's just that there isn't a cohesive, recognizable "look" for the game. However, you might be using placeholder art, so I don't know if it's a valid issue.

I understand. But, no, nothing is placeholder here. Everything is a WIP, though.
I think the further I develop it, the more consistent it will look. Smiley

It's also kind of hard to get a feel for it through stills. If you want a better look I have a demo up on itchio.

haha, thanks! That was one of my first inspirations! Though, I do think it has plenty of unique qualities as well.
