Reklaim

(A submission to 2020 Epic MegaJam, game made by one person in six days.)

Plot

Humanity has ascended.

In a distant future, people started manifesting an ability to control elements. People wanted to become even stronger, so they started building a power amplifier that could elevate their abilities even further. After initial testing, the robots that helped build the facility have revolted, preventing people from starting the amplifier. Your task is to reclaim the building and start the amplifier.

Mechanics

• The game is a 1st person platformer/turn based combat hybrid, alternating between two game modes.
• Better performance during platforming sections awards the player with better stats during fights with robots.
• During fights, the player can choose an element to attack and defend with on each turn, adding a rock-paper-scissors dynamic to the fights.
• Both keyboard and gamepad are supported, but keyboard is generally recommended due to better precision (though for better replayability, you should try both!).
