Mr. Evan Owl, known as "Evil Owl," embarked on his entrepreneurial journey by establishing his inaugural lift company. Initially intending to personally purchase all the required components, an unexpected incident occurred. A total of 54 lorries transporting Dewhurst boxes experienced explosions along the route to Coalham and various roads within Lifterville.
This unforeseen event altered Evil Owl's plans, as the funds intended for Dewhurst can now be redirected towards securing an office space in Norwichmond, conveniently situated within Lifterville.
During his venture, Evil Owl serendipitously encounters an old companion named Thomas Penguin, affectionately known as "Perculiar Penguin." Thomas also aspires to establish his own lift company. Recognising the potential synergy, the two allies join forces and devise a strategic plan for the formation of the Evans Lift Alliance.
The future success of their collaborative endeavor, the Evans Lift Alliance, remains uncertain. Will their joint efforts culminate in the establishment of a prosperous lift company? Only time will tell.
In the platformer game, your objective is to control the character, Evil Owl or Peculiar Penguin, and navigate through various levels filled with challenges, enemies, and obstacles. Your ultimate goal is to overcome these obstacles, defeat enemies, and progress further in the game. Here's a breakdown of what to do in the game:
Movement and Controls: Use the keyboard to control your movements. Typically, you can move left or right, jump (spacebar), and shoot (b) if playing as Penguin. Movement can be done with wasd or arrow keys. On mobile, you can also use the dedicated touch buttons
Explore the Levels: Each level presents a unique environment with platforms, traps, collectibles, and secrets. Explore the level thoroughly to discover hidden areas and shortcuts.
Overcome Obstacles: Encounter various obstacles and challenges throughout the levels. These can include platforms that require precise jumping, moving platforms, spikes, enemies, and hazardous terrain. Use your platforming skills and timing to overcome these obstacles safely.
Defeat Enemies: Face off against enemies that may try to hinder your progress. Use your abilities, such as attacking or jumping, to defeat them. Each enemy may have different abilities and weaknesses, so observe and strategise to overcome them effectively.
Power-ups and Items (Desktop Only): Power Ups can enhance you or unlock new features. Buying these from the shop can help you overcome tougher challenges or access hidden areas.
Progress and Unlock New Levels: As you successfully complete levels, you'll unlock new ones, each presenting its own unique set of challenges. The game may also feature a storyline that unfolds as you progress, providing further motivation to continue your journey.

The page is category B, but the game itself was already nearly complete when ChatGPT released so there is absolutely ZERO AI involvement there, I only created a ChatGPT right at the end of development and it was too limited at the time to assist, aside from the game page itself and you can really tell its early AI.
