PlatformerVerticalSlice

Introduction

PlatformerVerticalSlice is a 2D platformer from developer rodei, and the title is a fair warning about scope: this is a vertical slice, a small, focused piece of a larger game that is still being worked on. Built in Unity, it presents itself simply as a precision 2D platformer, with pixel art visuals and a singleplayer setup. The listed tags, 2D, Pixel Art, Singleplayer and No AI, point to a compact and self-contained project rather than a sprawling one. Programming and art are both credited to rodei, while the sound effects come from pixabay. Rather than assuming players already know the ropes, the game teaches its controls through an in-game tutorial, so newcomers can pick up the basics before getting into the platforming itself. There is no story setup or extra mode advertised here; the appeal rests on the core precision platforming presented in a short, concentrated form. Because it is an early slice, the best way to approach it is as a preview of what the developer is building rather than a finished release. rodei has asked for feedback, so anyone with thoughts on the platforming or the overall direction has a reason to share them.
