THE ELEMENTALIST

2D Vertical Platformer | PC

Unity3D | C#

Description

The Elementalist is a 2D Vertically Scrolling Platform Game featuring Arcanox, a young magician who wishes to master the Elemental powers of the Earth, Water, Frost, Fire, Air and Darkness, by defeating the 6 Elemental Guardians that reside in their domains. There are 6 worlds in total, consisting of 3 levels plus a boss level each. Each world has its' own mechanics as they reflect upon Arcanox, and every boss or enemy has a specific attacking pattern, which the player must identify in order to complete the game.

There was this one idea I would just couln't get out of my head. It was a vertical platformer. I had this since I was a child, and on August 2015 I decided it would be a nice period to thnik about it. One month later, I had 22 big levels in my hands, which I drew on paper originally, and some time later in 2015, the game was complete! Solo developer once again, but this time I even did the graphics! All of the characters, environments, UI are hand drawn and animated by myself, all the levels and gameplay mechanics are also designed and coded by me. The only assets I've used are sounds and music. Well, If I knew how to do it, I would, trust me.
