PathMaker

The player is thrust into a level where all they know is that they have to reach the “portal” at the end to move on to the next level. 

While there are hardly any enemies in view, there are also no platforms other than the ones they’re standing on and where the portal is located.

The player needs to quickly learn that they have the ability to place blocks wherever they like, to both:

• Traverse the level through whatever path they want.
• Shield themselves from the different traps and enemies that they’ll find along the way.

They’ll also quickly realize that there are two types of blocks, the ones they  can place down manually, which they can also destroy if required, and the ones placed by the level (made of metal) that cannot be affected by the player’s weapons.

This game is an entry for the PirateSoftware GameJam of 2024.
