mantiCORE

"Alright, if your WASD fingers are all limbered up, lets do our job, okay? I just hope this Rift is another real one... 'cause three in a row, this week alone... I don't know what I'd do with the bonus check Corp would give us from that many true Rift shutdowns. "

Manticore has the ability to latch onto walls in the background, turning this side-scrolling platformer into a top-down perspective at the press of a button.

Get to the end gate... but remember the code you find along the way; It won't reset when you die, but it will be randomized if you exit the level.

WASD - Move
Space - Jump
Arrow Keys - Shoot
Left Shift - Latch onto Walls

Esc (Hold 1 Second) - Exit Level

This is actually a remake of the very first game I tried to make in GameMaker Studio 2. Unfortunately, I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted to do, and I was still learning the basics of the engine and game design in general, so after about a year and a half of work, I had to scrap it.

Then I was introduced to unity, and saw how much built in functionality this engine has right out of the box. That really forced me to re-think the concept, and allowed me to throw together a prototype incredibly quickly.

It's not a particular long or spectacular game, but because of the feeling of redemption I have right now... it's one I'm truly proud of, despite all its flaws.

Speaking of which, please do leave a comment; point out every single one of those flaws, because chances are I don't know about all of them!

Thanks for playing!
