Isbarah, Hardcore Plateformer/danmaku

Post by Aman »

Hi guys,

I'm working in a tiny independent video game studio and I'd like to show you the game we've been working on for the past 6 months :

Isbarah

Image

It's a mix between platformer and danmaku games, in which you fight many boss, one by one. Each boss behaves like in a danmaku, and your caracter can move like in a platformer. The link between those two gameplays is obtained by using the 3 powers of the caracter :

- Time control : a slow motion momentarily helps you be more accurate

- Environment control : you can build temporary platforms to protect yourself or climb higher

- Dash : an omnidirectional movement to escape from crazy situations

The game contains several chapters within each you'll have to fight 3 boss. We will also try to make a level editor to create and share new crazy levels. The game itself is still in production and we still have a lot to do ! We hope it will be available at the beginning of 2014.

Trailer Pre Alpha

Any comment or question ? Suggestion ?

Here is one of the boss :

Btw we've also recently started a crowdfunding campaign, here it is : Isbarah.

Yes, platformers + bullet hell MUST combine. It is the future.

@nasty_wolverine

It's a Pc Game because you need a mouse to be very accurate.
Our studio is Leikir Studio. It's a tiny studio based in France. Around Paris.

@mice

Right now the bkg are not animated , they only have some parallax , but with little animation to give life, the will be more awesome. I hope !

It was the otherworldly setting and artstyle that wowed me I think, as well as a multitude of other things.

Yeah, I'm not as wowed by the main character as I am by the rest of the game, either.

I thought shmups players were satisfied with just a fucking hitbox, cut the guy some slack if the game play is good.
