In Memoriam

In Memoriam is a 2D platformer explorer game where the player takes the place of an ethereal being reliving the forgotten memories inside the mind of an old cancer patient lying on his deathbed. As the player progresses and the memories are found a sad story of sorts starts unfolding. Think along the lines of "To the Moon".

The player must solve puzzles to get through the levels as he helps the old man relive his life, over coming childhood fears and achieving things in life. The object of the game is too remember some important memory, about the woman he loved, so that he can rest in peace. Objects from memories that the player has discovered will show up in the level afterwards and will have their own puzzle mechanic attached to it.

The art style will change slightly as the man grows up in maturity throughout the game. There will be lots of weather and ambient visual/sound effects. The ending will be bittersweet.

Forest Combat

Deep in the Canadian woods there are two heroes who have been locked in immortal combat for as long as time can remember... The greatest lumberjack ever known to man, Lumberjack "The Jack" Jack, and a mysterious Greenpeace hippie known only as "The Bear". In this fast paced, 2D competitive platformer game you can play either a single player game as either the Lumberjack or the Bear. Two people can play head to head and play as one character each.

Two win a round each player must complete his objective. The Lumberjack must use his supreme tree chopping skills to level each ancient tree on the level and the Bear must destroy all of the lumber camp towers. The lumber jack can lay traps and use tree harvesting tools/explosives to complete his objective while The Bear can use his extensive knowledge of the martial arts, mother nature, and his 420 magic. If all of the trees are killed then Lumberjack "The Jack" Jack has won but if the lumber camp towers are destroyed then The Bear has won.

There will be multiple maps with different numbers of ancient trees and lumber towers, as well as a choose the season option. This will add a different effect to each map. e.g Winter will freeze over rivers, Autumn will have gusty winds etc...

Below is what part of a level may look like in summer.
