Aurascope

General Info:

Hello There! My name is Nick Oztok and I'm the creator, developer, and programmer of Aurascope. It's an original indie platformer that I'm making with my best friend Jonah Worley under our company Brobro Studios!

 

While the game mainly is a platformer, there's so many different elements from various genres that contribute to it being so much more than your typical platformer. For instance we emphasize a lot on collecting goodies and exploration, as well as including elements from adventure, puzzle, and even RPG games! It's really meant to be a blend of many different genres so there's something for everyone to enjoy.

This game is still in very early development, but there is one short demo to try out to really get an idea of what Aurascope is all about! While there's still a bunch to do we do try to showcase progress frequently though! We mostly showcase updates on weekends on our Twitter and we'll try to be active here too! 

Check out the Discord Server and join the Aurascope community!
Also follow Aurascope's social medias for general updates too!

         

Story:

COMING SOON! While we have it finished we want to properly show it off once it's completed in-game fitted with proper visuals and music. We'll at least share this little snippet with you below along with this beautiful artwork made by incredibly talented Andrea!

Trace and his best friend Aurora arrived at the beautiful Starstone Forest walking through the lush golden grass pondering at what caused the mysterious energy burst.

Gameplay:

In Aurascope you mainly play as a guy named Trace and collect Energy Cores scattered throughout the lands to restore the knocked out power to the many worlds in the Islands of Skylight. Using your metallic arms and your Aurascope you can manipulate objects emitting Aura Energy. Mainly things like Aurastones, basically blocks that can have many different attributes and abilities. 

For instance you can use Regular Aurastones to help reach new ground!

Or maybe use a Bomb Stone to clear up some rocks blocking your path!

That's not all though. Trace is a lean, mean, jumping machine with an array of moves at his disposal! He's definitely quite the acrobat using moves like his roll, diving leap, walljump, and more he can really get around just about anywhere! Perfect for speedrunning!

Smash pots, collect goodies, and when implemented, you'll be able to level up Trace by collecting XP from collecting Energy Cores, nabbing Star Reactors, defeating baddies, and beating challenges/missions to increase his health, ???????, attack, or defense! What is ??????? you may ask? We'll reveal that later on when we can properly show it off!

For now we hope you'll be looking forward to Aurascope in the future. I'm putting all my heart, passion, and soul into this game to really make it something memorable and enjoyable. Stay tuned!
