Hi, I'm new here and thought I'd share a demo of my game I've been working for 3 months now. I'd really appreciate feedback, for I'm really motivated to make this work.

It's a dark, surreal plot-driven platformer yet humorous and action-packed.

Please, play the game and tell me what you think, what works, what doesn't:

More about the game:

Embark on a dream-like journey in Nothinglands, where you play a beer-loving scientist who studies these mysterious creatures, the Eyes. In this god-ridden world the Eyes are also hunted for food and for fun. The hunters, in their existential despair, are desperately waiting for the yearly hunting festival, but this year it seems that the Eyes are emerging in larger numbers than before.

NiN combines classic platformer gameplay with more progressive AI, including commanding your companion and even summoning and telepathy control is possible as the game progresses. Also, the hunter-people are managing their own gunfights and monster hunting. The hero likes beer and it gives you health but it also comes with certain caveats. Note: the substance-abuse part of the game will be addressed as the story progresses.

There is also a very work in progress arena mode, where the player can battle the hunters as well and try to kill as many Eyes as possible… and spoilers: for upcoming versions, in the story mode the hunters won’t tolerate the hero’s plan of eradicating all the Eyes once and for all. Hunting is their way of life after all.

In arena you can test out following special features that will be granted in future story mode:

  • ninja rope (left mouse click, aim with cursor)
  • special attack: Drunken Fury (when enough beer is drunk)

I've also made all the graphics, sounds and music myself. So it's been quite a busy 3 months 😃

I hope to hear from you,

happy hunting!
