Redemption Path

Yoo! I am a solo developer and this is my first published project.

Hope you will enjoy it.

Game was made for GMTK Game Jam 2025 with theme LOOP.

I bet you will quickly realize how given theme is implemented in the game.

I am more of a programmer/level designer than an artist,

so I based my game on resources that were not mine, 

for which I am grateful to the artists.

More context (with spoliers)

The idea behind the plot is that you are given a chance at redemption thanks to a certain higher power. You must follow the path that has been laid out for you. To some expected goal? During the game, the player may discover that they are not going anywhere. Worse , they are stuck in a loop, and with each iteration, the path becomes more and more difficult.

Conclusion about the project

I think that the idea of vertical scroller is interesting. Also allowing player to control the pace gives different perspective. You can look around the level, even so in this project I didn't implement many opportunities to do so. Definitely I will look more into this concept in the future.
