Project Overview
Moons Adventure is a 2D platformer and puzzle game set in a magical land, where players must navigate through a world controlled by four powerful moons, each with unique abilities. The moons are manipulated by a mysterious AI, and the player’s goal is to explore, solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and ultimately destroy the AI’s control over the moons. The game features a blend of environmental puzzles, platforming challenges, and action sequences, with each moon influencing gameplay elements like gravity, time, and the world’s obstacles.
As the sole developer, I am responsible for everything from the game design and mechanics to the development, coding, and artwork. The project uses Unity 3D, chosen for its flexibility in creating both mobile and PC experiences, allowing the game to reach a broad audience.
4 Unique Moons: Each moon introduces a unique gameplay mechanic that directly influences the environment. For instance, one moon might reverse gravity, while another might alter time or provide enhanced abilities for combat and movement. The player will need to adapt and strategize with each moon’s effects to solve puzzles and defeat enemies.
Puzzle-Solving: Environmental puzzles are at the heart of the gameplay, requiring the player to manipulate their surroundings by using the power of the moons. Timing, precision, and strategic thinking are crucial to advance through levels.
Platforming Action: Fluid platforming mechanics combined with AI-controlled enemies will keep the player engaged in intense combat sequences. Each level presents challenges that require both agility and tactical thinking.
AI Control: The AI acts as the antagonist in the game, controlling the moons and manipulating the environment to hinder the player’s progress. Players will need to destroy parts of the AI to weaken its hold over the moons, unlocking new areas and abilities along the way.
Digital Art Style: The game features a unique, vibrant digital art style that enhances the magical atmosphere of the world. The moon effects are visually striking, making each level feel fresh and dynamic as players progress through the phases of the game.
Outcome & Future Development
Moons Adventure successfully blends platforming, puzzle-solving, and action, with the unique twist of dynamic moon mechanics influencing the game world. The game is designed to offer a fresh experience each time the player enters a new moon phase, creating a deep and engaging puzzle-platforming experience.
I plan to continue refining the game, adding more levels, expanding the lore behind the moons, and enhancing the AI’s complexity. The demo will focus on showcasing the core mechanics and the AI’s role in the game, allowing players to experience the unique world influenced by the four moons.
