Aurascope is a 2D indie platformer inspired by the Super Mario series, but if you take the movement to a whole new level the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog!
We've been developing this game for 5 years, and now it's time for you to help us get it fully funded! You can support it on Kickstarter, wishlist and play our demo on Steam or itch.io, and follow us here, our official website, Bluesky! You can also join our Discord!
(we also have a twitter but im the tumblr guy on the team im not linking that, you can find it if you're interested)
If you want to know more about the game, I'll go into depth (and notably be less social media manager-y about it) under the cut! Otherwise, have a good day, and at least keep us in mind!
HAHA YOU CLICKED UNDER THE CUT I CAN DROP THE SOCIAL MEDIA SPEAK AND BE AUTISTIC
Hi! I'm Chao, and on top of being the only guy on the team with an active tumblr, I'm alsooo one of two main writers! Go thunk.
Aurascope means a lot to me, and I'm definitely going to use this chance to just... GUSH ABOUT IT. I can't exactly provide high quality marketing images because this is just me being unabashedly autistic about something I love, but if you're this deep in, I don't think you care.
SO! Aurascope. Like I alluded to earlier, one of the best defining parts of the game is it's movement. IT'S MOVEMENT IS SEXY AS SHIT TO PUT IT LIGHTLY. We have working time trial systems, and if you look at them, you can see just how FUCKING IN DEPTH THIS SHIT GETS!!!! It's just. FUCK!!! The lead dev put so much care into making sure the act of getting to places feels fun even if there's no platforming!
BUT THE LEVEL DESIGN IS ALSO INCREDIBLY FUCKING TIGHT??? Like. Okay. It took us so long to come up with the first stage's second mission, long enough for it to be a meme in the community discord. BUT IT FEELS SO GOOD. And the rest of the levels in the demo echo the sentiment; everything is so tightly designed that it's just AMAZINGGG AAA
Okay and to toot my own horn here: the writing. Not all of what me and my co-writer is implemented yet, but what is is INCREDIBLY FUNNY. It's not tailored to tumblr comedy or nothing it's just. Funny cuz it's funny. OH AND WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO PUT QUEER RELATIONSHIPS AND CONTENT INTO THE FULL GAME!!! It's gonna be fucking peak
Okay im gonna cut myself off here cuz i need to post this sometime in the next century BUT I LOVE THE GAME AND IF YOU READ THIS FAR CLEARLY YOU'RE INTERESTED. SO GO CHECK OUT ALL THE STUFF AND PLAY THE DEMO AND IF YOU LIKE IT PLEDGE TO THE KICKSTARTER!!! WE'RE GONNA GET THIS SHIT DONE
