Aura of Worlds (itch)

Aura of worlds is a creative tactics rogue-lite platformer. It has a strong focus on exploration, improvisation and manipulating the environment to your advantage. You progress through utilizing your wits, reflexes and a plethora of innovative abilities.

Procedural levels range from pursuing toxic pollen; to flooded passages lined with explosives; to bosses spanning the entire labyrinth.
There are multiple solutions to every problem. For example, if there is a laser force field trap in front of you do you...:

• Throw an enemy into it?
• Blow up the conduit with a grenade?
• Blink through it?
•  Cloak yourself to pass through undetected?
• ...

Early Access: 
Aura of Worlds is under active development.  Things are subject to ongoing content additions and improvements; with updates posted about once every 2-5 weeks (notification in game).
NOTE: Steam keys are now available to everyone who purchased the game this up until the end of May.

Don't worry though; the game has gone through trial by fire across over 1000 players at conventions (like PAX), developer meetups and testing groups over the years.

• A Steam key if bought during or before April 2018 :)
  
• The first 3 procedural worlds: each with their own unique layout types, hazards and special level themes (all unlocked at the start if purchased in the first week).
• Multiple hours of strategic challenge; with no two levels ever playing out the same way.
• Over 60 unique enemies and traps
• Handcrafted pixel-art visuals and custom OST.
• So much more...
