NARWHAR Project Hornwhale

Post by UltraNarwhal »

Hello all,

I've just released my new game NARWHAR Project Hornwhale, which may be of interest to some of you.
Made over the space of a few years using Construct 2, influenced by all the games I saw or played during th 80s/90s.

Features
- Multiple difficulties (Easy/Normal/Hard/Yolo)
- Different endings
- 50 powerup variants
- Two characters to choose from
- Password system for resuming play on Easy/Normal difficuties

To describe how the game plays, think Mr.Heli mixed with Atomic Robo-Kid.
Trailer

Available DRM free for Windows 7, Windows 10, Linux 64 bit from

I'm also about to start work on my next game which will be more like a regular shmup and with less cute characters.

It almost looks like some stages have a bit of a Metroidvania thing going on, which is kinda cool. I'll have to download it, and give it a go.

Cool. Levels are linear, but you can choose to explore levels at your own pace.

I'm having a sale, until the end of Halloween you can get 25% off!

Also if you're curious of the development process, you can see how the game changed over the years.
