Azumi and the Vertical Slice is a proof of concept for a 2D action platformer that attempts to bring modern indie speed and catharsis to the classic days of the Sega Mega Drive and Blast Processing.

This is the first game I've ever tried to build, so I'm sure there's lots of room for growth, which is why I'm posting here! Still a demo, or vertical slice, my goal here was to try and get good feeling movement, and juicy, cathartic combat.

Depending on reception, I'll either continue to make tweaks, or move on to building a full game with levels and bosses!

Thank you for playing!
