Level design
Given the theme and horizontal level design, each platform had to seamlessly blend while ensuring coherent mechanics. Modern cultural elements were sprinkled to maintain the player engaged and curios.
Elevated paths crafted from pipes, branches and cables provide a polished gaming experience. Terrain painting tools were used to accurately replicate swamp natural features.
Each level offers a unique atmosphere and gradually introduces the player to new interactions such as jumping boosts, targeted enemies and moving platforms.
