While I'm trying to avoid prototypes as half the time they never get finished, there was a couple of games entered into the AmiGameJam 2024 that caught my attention. One of those games in development by UltraNarwhal, who was also behind the charming Amiga platformer of Duckstroma. Has made available a prototype of an Amiga platformer called Rintivoorh. What makes this one pretty special however, is not only does it look pretty damn cool, but according to the developer "it's a prototype for 'The Sequel That Never Was' - What if there was a Hawkeye sequel?".
Sadly there isn't much to talk about as of yet, but while UltraNarwhal does state it's a single level prototype made over a few hours in a day in a month. He may at least make a full version with a boss battle at each level end, if it ends up being popular....So here's hoping!

Looks nice and methodological to play. Like you had to play carefully and plan a bit.
ReplyDeleteYou think so? I find those games where you can't (seem to) fire at the height where the enemies are at incredibly frustrating...
ReplyDeleteAlso, how am I even supposed to log in here? Clicking the 'google' option takes me to a page on blogger.com that invites me to start a new blog, not a login page...
This reminds me of the excellent Hawkeye.
ReplyDeleteLooks nice, but seems 'stuck' in old (Amiga) game mechanics at the moment.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a flimbos quest clone. Nice graphics. Hopefully it plays as well as Flimbos quest (which is an excellent and underappreciated game, i think)
