Our game The Legend of Tobimaru, a 2D action platformer with challenging combat puzzles, is now on Kickstarter!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mushingames/the-legend-of-tobimaruThe game takes inspiration from retro classics such as Super Mario Brothers and Mega Man, as well as classic fighting games such as Street Fighter II. It is a 2D action platformer with combat inspired by fighting games and challenging combat puzzles. It has a linear progression with minimal backtracking to differentiate it from common Metroidvania games.
The Legend of Tobimaru uses a timing-based combat system. Based on feedback we received from exhibitions and alpha testing, we've added outlines that indicate when you should input your next move. If the next move is entered while the outline is visible, it fires immediately. If you miss the correct timing, the move is queued up for when the animation of the current move ends.
You can also turn right before each move to attack in the opposite direction.
Unlike attacks, dash, dodge, and jump will trigger as soon as you input them. This will allow you to dodge enemy attacks immediately.
But the combat system is just the beginning, the game also features merchants you can buy power-Ups from, new abilities and moves to learn, melee and ranged combat, and an intriguing story with interesting characters.
You can download and play the demo to see the direction the game is heading towards:
