GAME & LEVEL DESIGN
GAMEPLAY
Using Mario’s iconic jump physics as a creative baseline. The core game design focused on taking this classic mechanic as a starting point to explore, tweak, and develop unique gameplay variations, shaping an original experience through mechanical evolution.
2D Platformer
Die & Retry
Mario-Inspired
CORE INTENTIONS
Progressive Mastery: Seamlessly onboarding the player without explicit text tutorials. The layout is engineered so that every new section demands a higher execution of the core mobility kit.
Tension & Resource Friction: Creating a constant survival instinct by forcing a gameplay loop where precise platforming directly impacts resource management (Health, Ammo, and Metal tracking).
Rewarding Exploration: Designing high-risk, vertical alternative paths to reward player curiosity and mechanical risk-taking with vital spaceship repair components.
GAME MECHANICS
BEYOND THE MARIO JUMP (Evolved Mario Jump) Evolving the fundamental variable-height jump mechanic into a complex mobility suite.
DOUBLE JUMP (Boot Boost)
A powerful second leap from rocket-propelled boots for increased height and control.
WALL CLING & CLIMB (Wall Adherence)
Allows clinging and climbing along vertical surfaces.
HOSTILES (aliens)
There is 2 types of ennemies in the game, one that attack on sight, and another that shoot acide. Both kill Players in one hit.
RESOURCE LOOP & COMBAT
Oxygen that constantly reduce, limited Ammo for the ranged weapon, Metal Mining for ship repairs (constant pressure).
