Come on guys! help me out! :) I need your inputs here 

🏒 A small indie platformer inspired by rink hockey — and the dream of a young player.

Hi everyone!

My name is Raymond (also known as **TheRyCer**), and I’m currently developing a small indie game called El Viaje de Des (Des's Journey) .

👉 https://therycer.itch.io/el-viaje-de-des

The game is a story-driven 2D action platformer inspired by arcade classics, where you play as Des, a young player fighting rival teams and powerful bosses on his journey to reach Europe.

But this project has a deeper story behind it.

My *13-year-old son plays rink hockey*, and one of the main reasons I started this project was to help share this amazing sport with more people around the world.

Outside of a few countries in Europe, many players have never even heard of rink hockey.  

So this game is my way of helping introduce the sport through a fun platformer adventure.

The gameplay includes:

•  Fast arcade-style combat  
•  Boss and superboss encounters  
•  Pattern-based enemy fights  
•  Stamina and charged attacks  
•  Power-ups that change combat style  
•  Story moments inspired by young athletes chasing big dreams  

The game currently supports multiple languages:

• Spanish  
• English  
• Portuguese  
• Italian  
• French  

I'm actively improving the game based on player feedback.

The other day I stayed up late with feedbacks and sugestion (including the multi-language!), and I’d love to hear more ideas.

If you enjoy platformers, boss fights, or discovering unusual sports, I’d really appreciate it if you gave the game a try.

Even more important:  

**I would love any kind of feedback.**

Gameplay feedback, Difficulty feedback, Ideas for bosses or mechanics, Visual feedback, Anything that could help improve the game

Even small comments help a lot.

If the game helps even a few players discover rink hockey, then this project is already a success.

Thank you so much for taking a look!

El Viaje de Des (De's Journey) https://therycer.itch.io/el-viaje-de-des

Hi! I'm Raymond, but in the game dev world people know me as TheRyCer.

I'm not a studio or a professional game developer — just a passionate gamer and a proud dad building games in my spare time.

Right now I'm working on a small indie project inspired by something very important in my life: rink hockey (hockey patín) and the journey of my 13-year-old son, who dreams of one day playing the sport professionally in Europe.

The game itself is not directly about rink hockey, but many of its themes, energy, and spirit come from that world — dedication, perseverance, and the excitement of chasing a dream.

Another goal of this project is to help introduce rink hockey to more people around the world, since it’s an amazing sport that many players have never even heard about.

If you're curious about the project, you can check it out here:

Any feedback, ideas, or support are always welcome.

And who knows… maybe this little game will help a few more people discover rink hockey along the way.
