Sleepless (Thuleanx)

A little penguin trying to get some shut-eye, after a bit of platforming.

This project is me exploring what I can do with a pure platformer. This is a submission for Narrative Game Jam, where you have 11 days to build a narrative experience. Initially, I thought of a story about a penguin traversing between layers of dreams (via either sleeping, or playing a song on the gramophone which would wake him up from the current dream), but decided to go with this simple story due to time constraint.

I hope you enjoy Sleepless, despite the lack of any interesting narrative.

The background music used is called Waves made by FrenchyBoy. You should check them out. Sound effects were me combining public domain sounds on open game art.

The font used is Silver, one of my favorite.

All other assets are drawn by me in Aseprite.
