Peka Peka Learns to Fly

A aerophobic lil bat must learn to overcome  their fears. 

We took the theme "Empower, Uplift, Ignite" and went with a bat empowering herself by learning how to fly, partially by "uplifting" herself with airdrafts. The general idea of the game was a "platformer without jumping", we wanted to see if we could create a platformer without the most basic tool in the kit, and if wall jumping and gliding could replace it.

I LOVE PEKAPEKA. nobody who plays this game wouldn't but let it be known im pekas number one fan and ill fight for the title. the art is gorgeous ofc, from peka to the UI to the really lovely texture in the wood! my actual fav thing from this game was the level design, the wind being 'uplifting' was such a good mechanic and also the level flowed really really well. it was challenging but never enough i got fustrated and that must have been hard to balance especially with the challenge of making a platformer without jumps etc. 

 

anyway vote pekapeka for the nxt NZ bird of the year award and make it pekapeka awards instead (✿´‿`)
