The Itch (itch)

My first ever big project.

Inspired by true allergic reactions, The Itch is a 2D platformer centered around using heart rate as a resource to make objects move, grow, and shoot in order to find a doctor who can cure a deadly virus. The path to the doctor is full of obstacles as you traverse cavernous environments filled with plant life and people. You will meet many infected people and disastrous scenes of people dying from it. explore the caverns, navigate through tangled vines, clear up blocked passages, and discover clues about the origin of this deadly virus.
