From the Cookie Jar: Yuudai in Screwing with Time (Patreon)

Hi everyone! ^w^

Here’s another shoutout for a game I think you might like! This time we have another platformer created by our friend Yuudai!

Yuudai in “Screwing with Time”

Yuudai in Screwing with Time is an action-platformer with a focus on exploration, puzzles and fast-action combat, inspired by my all-time favorite game, Tomb Raider!

• Follow the development on my Twitter.
• Consider supporting the game on Patreon.

My goal was to capture the essence of the original Tomb Raider games as much as possible in the limited 2D space.

The game focuses on the three things I think are what makes up the pillars that those games stand on:

• Free exploration: Yuudai is a very athletic fox and he comes equipped with many moves to help the player navigate through the levels.
• Fluid Combat: Translating the combat from Tomb Raider was a big challenge while working on this. With 3D models you can mix animations together because everything is based on a skeleton and maths. With 2D sprites I had to cut the character up into multiple parts, animate them independently and then make them fit together.
• Traps, Treasures and Puzzles: What are ancient ruins, tombs and dungeons without some nasty traps protecting the shiny treasures hidden within?

And all of that, neatly wrapped into an interesting story that leaves you at the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next, who you will meet and who will stand in your way!

The game is going to be kind of tough! I want the tombs and dungeons you explore to be very dangerous. You can die easily, but at the same time it shouldn’t be so punishing to ruin the fun - kind of in the spirit of the classic Tomb Raider games as well. So expect mean traps all around and never trust a shiny item that seems a bit too good to be true! :3c

If that sounds exciting to you, please check out my game and follow its development!
