A downloadable alpha demo for Windows

It’s the 1980s. The sun is setting, you just finished watching a movie with your dad, and now he’s taking you to see… a scientist with some strange new device?

Strap on your virtual goggles and traverse generations of gaming in this homage to 2D platformers.

DEMO NOTES -- PLEASE READ ME:

Can skip the tutorial and dialogue story dump at the beginning. No save function yet.

CONTROLS:

  • Movement - Arrow keys
  • Jump - Space
  • Hover - Shift
  • Progress/Initiate Dialogue - T
  • Use - F
  • Menu - Escape
  • Zoom In - E
  • Zoom Out - Q

Only Vectrex levels available now.

KNOWN ISSUES:

  • Initial dialogue scene is cringe -- just some quick ideas that will be polished later
  • Dialogue timings might be weird sometimes -- I'll be adding some stuff later during these short pauses, so please ignore any slight, weird pauses for now
  • Typewriter text wraps as it's typing
  • Parts of menu incomplete (leaderboards, visual, level select, save)
  • Menu dimensions and other GUI issues might occur -- PLEASE give me details if they do
  • Not all levels have backgrounds

Possible issues? -- The dialogue system is new and I might've missed something. If something sounds out of place, let me know.

Anything else is fair game to comment on! Let me know what you like, what you dislike, what bugs you find, what you think needs improving, etc.

BIG thanks to the anon who made the initial background in the start of the game before the tutorial. It looks awesome.
