  • I think adding a short in game turorial would be beneficial, and adding an ingame reset button as got stuck in a platform and had to reload the page

Tell us about your game!
Project: Homunculus is a 2d platformer where you are a shadow Homunculus on a journey to become a human. You traverse the world and unlock abilities by combining your powers with special alchemic ingredients found on your journey. This will make the game easier, but remember that easier isn’t always good.

Double Jump

By using the sky core, players can perform an additional jump when they are already in the air

Slime slide

Using the river core, players can create a slime-like substance that will give them the ability to slide on command. Jumping while sliding will extend the distance a player can jump.

Wall grab/jump


Using the fire core, players can transmute it into a claw item that can be used to hang from walls. Players can then perform a jump from the wall position

Plant Bridge


Using the forest core, players create a concoction that when poured on a plat will force it to grow into a bridge the player can use

Jumping

Inherent ability. The jump height and distance is fixed. Can be used to cross gaps

Nice platformer! I found some of the jumps tricky. Overall a pretty solid feel to the game. Great job on your first game!
