Shepherd of the Convergence

OVERVIEW

Two Dimensions, Cyberpunk and Fantasy, once completely separate and distinct, are now beginning to converge. Nothing can stop the convergence, but as Shepherd of the Convergence, you decide if the two dimensions will merge in Harmony or in Chaos!

Use your Staff of Convergence to strike beings you want to conjoin or split in this tight 2D puzzle platformer with 8-bit inspired Graphics and sounds!

MULTIPLE ENDINGS

Two Different Ways to play! Each with their own unique ending!

1. Separate all the Robots and the Creatures to ensure CHAOS ensues when the dimensions merge!

2. Conjoin them all into Cyborgs to facilitate HARMONY when the dimensions merge!

CHIPTUNE BEETHOVEN

Beethoven! That’s the right, enjoy the  8-Bit chiptune version of Beethoven’s 5th symphony  arranged by me!

NES INSPIRED GRAPHICS

All colors in the game come from the NES Palette. And the restrictions on colors per sprite/background tile are loosely followed.

GAME JAM PROTOTYPE

This is a short prototype made for the 2023 Big Mode Game Jam. All Assets, graphics, sounds, code were made by me, Travis Battles, during the 2.5 week Jam!

The game was built on the free and open source HaxeFlixel framework. Sounds were made in sfxr. The chiptune Beethoven was made in FamiStudio.

FULL VERSION

If I were to make a full version, some plans I have are:

• More Content! Aka a bigger level or more levels 
• Improve the UI and add a MiniMap
• Add a Tutorial
• More animations
  • Player still needs a jump animation
  • Animations for when Beings are separated/conjoined
• More advanced player movement (dash? ground pound?)
• More types of Beings for each Dimension (Flyer and a Jumper)
  
• More advanced Being AI (Make them try to avoid the Player)
• Opening & Ending Cinematics
  • Watch the Robots & Creatures fight to the death in the Chaos ending!
  • Watch the Cyborgs form their Utopia!
• And more!

Enjoy! And I would love to hear feedback in the comments below!
