kumo
☁️🐧☁️
The Sky is Finally in Within Reach!
For many a generation, penguins have looked up at the sky, forced to swim by evolution. However, deep within a forgotten, crumbling dungeon one little penguin has discovered an ancient secret, kept hidden from the world. The art of cloud-waddling. By some mystic (and at times somewhat slippery) magic summoning solid clouds from thin air is possible and penguins can build their own stepping stones to join their fellow feathery friends in the skies .
Kumo is a precision puzzle/mini metroidvania and platformer where you must navigate treacherous dungeons, scale towering walls, and escape the underground to fly! Gather lost keys and trade with subterranean birds for tools to help you carve your path to the sky.
Controls:
- A/D: Left / Right Movement
- Space: Jump
- W: Trade items with NPCs (when bubble appears overhead)
- K: Spawn a cloud platform (requires cloud wand item)
Item Mechanics: You can only hold one item at a time. Swap them in and out by visiting NPCs and trading the item back for them to hold onto it.
- Lantern: Passive item that solidifies yellow hard-light platform tiles as you explore the depths
- Pickaxe: Passive item that smashes cracked bricks by walking or jumping into them
- Cloud Wand: Press K to summon a temporary cloud platform beneath your feet
