Mercenary Leto

Action, upgrades, and one cool cat wizard. Travel the galaxy as a mercenary with a fluffy dragon alongside a cast of endearing characters.

This game is a 2d action platformer with a retro-SNES vibe about it - so expect solid, tight controls with a slower movement speed for clarity of gameplay. I do tip my hand early and give good powerups early in the game - so expect to be traveling on the ceiling and one-shoting enemies once you get into the meat of the game.

Alongside the mechanics is a cast of characters that I really want to stand out - from a talking cat wizard to a skeleton in a kimono, you'll meet interesting tropes of NPCs, but then shortly after they will begin to surprise and grow on you - just like real people do. This is a huge focus for me personally that I strive for - a cast to remember.

So, in short -

• A short game - currently about 20-25 minutes of gameplay
  
• Tight controls and movement
  
• Great characters to love (or hate!)
  
• Fluffy dragon you can pet as much as you want
