Riven

Platformer game with a Twist for Winter MelonJam 2024

Description 📚

Riven is a 2D pixel-art platformer that challenges players to discern the illusions of the mind from reality. Help your character overcome trials and achieve clarity at the end of his journey

A young soul awakens in an endless forest, its mind fractured by a past that they can't remember. In search of something precious, it wanders through the deep forest... But with every step, voices whisper, trees shift, and objects transform—some real, some imagined

GameJam Theme 🕹️

The word 'polarity' often refers to the concept of opposites or contrasting elements. Riven fits this theme perfectly since it revolves around telling illusions apart from reality - two opposing states of mind
