An Endless Runner with a twist

Wake up, soldier.

Set within a cyberpunk world, play as Guy, a retired military robot living around on the streets. You come to in an unfamiliar place, greeted by the shadow of a mysterious woman who seems to want to help you. However, you're suddenly met with the instinctive need to run - endlessly, even - away from the other shadows out to get you.

My project was an exploration of deeper game mechanics from genres like roguelites and inserting them into a simple game loop. I was interested in tapping into a nostalgic, pixel-art aesthetic to provide something familiar for casual gamers of all ages, aiming to get more people experimenting with the interactive world games can provide.
