This is our game from SkyForts. It's a platformer game with additional mechanic such as stage-rotating and tile-headbutt.
The game itself told the story of Welsho Nion who had sold her soul to a Devil. Instead of killing Nion and took her soul, the Devil made Nion his subordinate and forced her to collect souls. Thus, Nion's day as ghouls-miner begins.

Game Play

The objective on GhoulsMiner is to collect fragment souls inside dungeon by using Nion’s 3 basic ability: Platforming, Headbutting, and Stage-Rotating, which are the core-mechanics of this game.
Fragment soul resides on Gem and Ghoul, so to get them Nion has to mine gem or beat ghouls.

The Gem itself also acts as ingame-currency that Nion could use to upgrade her powerup. There are 3 types of gem, so we use 3 currency system.

Our inspiration for the game comes from Mario, Spelunky, Pacman, etc.

Team
GhoulsMiner is being worked on by 2 people.
Myself, mostly working on the code, and spiralhalo doing the graphic and story.



That's all for now. Later I will explain more about gameplay and story.

Meanwhile, you could follow us on http://skyforts.tumblr.com/ and @SkyForts

Actually looks great. The twist mechanic is reminiscent of Lazy Raiders and the ghost-chasing made me chuckle (feels like Pac-Man!!).

Would love to play it!

Lazy Raiders seems cool, I probably should try it.

The game is still slowly worked on. I hope I could increase my pace faster
Anyway, I made a design for the Devil, what do you think guys.

halo had been working on Nion sprite

v1 v2 v3

The left one is the first sprite that he made. Then he changed it to v2, but it's not really fit on the stage. So v3 is the current sprite that we use.

There's also other form that Nion would use after taking powerups. But it's still based on v2 style. We might change it later.

we made some notable changes to the game recently

now the game has mission system that asks player to complete missions in 4 different dungeons. another addition includes a harder block variant. Spiralhalo revamped the art to match the change, as well as adding some cool contrast. you can tell which are the harder block variant by their similarity. There are still some correction to be done but we liked the new style so far

following the mission system, the house now has 4 trophy slots that stores a new trophy for every dungeon cleared. you will be able to access an endless mode for each dungeon from those trophies later (the cat double is due to debugging)

A bit late to the party, but here's a concept art for Chatom the ghost cat (cat ghost?) made by spiralhalo

It's basically a hi-res version of the sprite, as a reference for the dialogue avatar that i'm working on

The twist mechanic is awesome.

thanks ^_^


finished another avatar. It took me 1 week to do this.



Anyway, Chatom is a spirit cat that owns a treehouse called Death's Abode. It's a basecamp for adventurer who wants to explore the Weeping Tower nearby. He's also an acquaintance of the Devil.

Hi guys, i bring you some new updates!

spiralhalo had been reworking the tiles (again)

a preview for ice-room (he said that so far, this is his best pixel work)

he finished the dialog box too

oh, it feels so good to finally see my artwork in the game (even though it's just a mockup). I should do something like this more often

and guess


who's coming
