What Is This Game?

Slash through enemies in a stylish sci-fi side scroller where weapons combo like butter.

Genre: A 2.5D hack-and-slash side scroller. The inspiration comes from Super Smash Bros Melee, a game I have played for 11 years and feel strongly for with its camera perspective. 

Core features: Fast-paced combat with scalability in builds and weapon style combinations with dual weilding and multiple weapon slots.

Combo system inspired by NieR: Automata with multiple weapon slots combined with directional attacks from Super Smash Bros.

Sci-fi ninja aesthetic with hand-crafted levels. Set in a computer stylized world with hologram enemies etc.

The game started out as a project in game development school and I stuck with it and it grew to become something I really liked to work on! I would really like to keep doing that. 

Gameplay Highlights
