Dwellers is a 2D mobile game, in which you play a little creature in a puzzle-platformer game, using the die and retry mechanic. You play a little creature who is scared of light and needs to plug the light holes to move on.
CONTRIBUTION
This game was made by a team of 5 people on Unity.
My roles was Project Manager, Programmer, Game designer, Level designer, and Level builder.
First concept of the game with the die and retry mechanic
Dwellers is a side scroller, therefore we choose to fix the camera on the character so that it's always in the center of the screen.
The character of dwellers is a quadruped creature looking like a cute spider. It can move to the right, to the left, jump, die voluntarily and push some element.
Drag the joystick to te left or to the right to move.
Press the die button to let a corpse
Press the button jump for jumping.
Design
The main mechanic is to plug the holes with your corpes or with the help of some objects.
Pushing an object to cap the hole
Die and cap the hole with your dead body
The game was made with several iterations for the level design and also for the pacing.
