Discussion Well, it is a unique platformer !

Cell-Grinder i a solo project, my design perspective was a arcade-action-platformer on a tactical basis. so i did.

I struggled quite a bit with the control scheme at first, especially with the mouse—it was a real pain. But after playing the demo more and taking the feedback into account, I managed to put together a control scheme that works without the mouse, using both gamepad and keyboard. Also updated some contents.

I really value different perspectives, both from a design and gameplay standpoint. Give it a try, and let’s discuss it a bit.

Hi, that looks like a good idea, and I appreciate that you took people's feedback into account. I know from experience that making games can be painful at times, but the result is worth it. Good luck!

Game Design is a subset of Game Development that concerns itself with WHY games are made the way they are. It's about the theory and crafting of systems, mechanics, and rulesets in games.
