Control the heroine Azure in this indie platformer, where you jump and dash to conquer obstacles. Double jump and dash mechanics form the core of gameplay, letting you tackle challenges with precise timing. Traditional Eastern aesthetics draw from Chinese ink paintings, giving the game its distinctive, adorable look.
Well-crafted level design keeps things tough yet engaging, pushing players to persist through each section. Built as a college final project with solo development over a month, it delivers a clean, bug-free experience after playtesting. Fans of precise platforming action will enjoy mastering its demands.
A final project of my college freshman year. Just jump and dash and have fun.
Azure is a game that I first developed as a regular assignment for Intro to Game Development class in the second semester of my freshman year, and I decided to continue working on it for my final project.
Inspired by Celeste and Hollow Knight, this game is a quite simple platformer. Players need to control the heroine named Azure to overcome obstacles in front of her.
- Main features -
Classical Platformer Mechanics: I implemented the double jump and dash mechanics into this game, and players basically just use them to solve problems.
Traditional Eastern Aesthetics: Art is another main feature of this game. I tried to reach the level of Chinese ink paintings but failed a little bit, but still, I believe this game looks adorable.
Well-made Level Design: I'm not boasting this. Both my professor and my peers praised it. "It is difficult but you still have the motivation to continue playing." One of my classmates said.
- Yeah, these are the reasons that you should download and try my game. It's free so why not -
Don't ask me what's the background story because I don't even know. Just created an adorable character and let her jump around.
Probably not adorable enough cuz my drawing skill isn't that good, but I did spend tons of time on art and programming. I believe the game is free of bugs after a couple of playtesting, but just let me know if it has.
By the way, the majority of this game was solely developed by myself within a month. Some other parts were done with the help of other people, and here are the credits:

Anyway, enjoy.
