Rock, Paper, HYDE

A different take on the Jekyll and Hyde story created for the Public Domain Jam. Unfortunately, nowhere near where I wanted it to be but I had fun making it.

The instructions below are recommended to understand abilities, transformations and the restrictions levels place upon them.

Instructions

If your ability randomly stops working then press the U key, this will reset your ability back to a usable state. If all hope is lost then press the 0 key.

This game is based around using abilities. You have access to one ability at a time and this is determined by the character you are playing as. To change characters you combine 3 potions (keys 1-4 or blue, green, purple, orange).

Character transformations are restricted until the final and 5th level where all transformations are available.

Character Transformations

There are 6 characters in this game and this is how to become them:

1. Jekyll = Press R when not in Jekyll form
2. Hyde = Press R when in Jekyll form
3. Indiana Jane = Blue/Green/Green || 1, 2, 2
4. Dwarf = Orange/Orange/Green || 4, 4 2
5. Miss Invert = Purple, Purple, Blue || 3, 3, 1
6. Mr Strange = Green, Purple, Green || 2, 3, 2

Levels

As stated above, there are 5 levels and until the final and 5th level, transformations are restricted, here is a list of the levels and the characters they focus on.

• Level 1 focuses on Jekyll and Hyde. Jekyll can turn into a paper plane to glide longer distances and Hyde jumps very high and has an uppercut which sends enemies and rocks flying into the air.

• Level 2 focuses on Indiana Jane and Mr Strange. Jane is a little faster and can perform lots of punches in quick succession while Mr Strange can throw bombs to attak enemies in an area of effect or destroy cracked walls.

• Level 3 focuses on Miss Invert who can reverse her gravity at the touch of a button at any time.

• Level 4 focuses on Dwarf who can walk through small gaps and turn into a paper boat to traverse water (this this before entering the water).

• Level 5 is the final level and this makes use of every character with optional ways of getting through bits of the level.

With all that out of the way, I hope you enjoy playing this game. It's not great, it's nowhere near where I wanted it, it's lacking art for most of the levels and there's some issues. I did have a lot of fun developing this though and I do think there is a good game in there waiting to shine if I put more work into it.

I hope at least for the moment that the sort of game I wanted this to be shows through the game play, even if it isn't quite there.
