Background:

After releasing my first free metroidvania-adventure-platformer

The Trader, Death and You

 I decided to revisit and improve some core mechanics. As part of this process, I’m creating a series of demos on this account before moving forward with the sequel, - Mirage Castle

This is the second demo.

Here I deliberately avoided overloading the demo with animations and effects and added a trail behind the character to make certain mechanics, like Coyote Time, more visible.

Here you can find a first demo https://vyacheslavtarasov.itch.io/mirage-castle

I'm really looking forward to playing this demo!

You look like the type of person who'd enjoy this jam: WOW JAM

They have a very interesting platform and are even offering prizes xD

Thanks! I’ll take a look :) By the way, maybe you’d be interested in trying my new Demo 3: https://vyacheslavtarasov.itch.io/mirage-castle-demo3 Password: demo3

It’s more arcade-style, and instead of a plot, I’ve added some developer notes about the design and mechanics.

It's just some random bot spamming links to a dodgy jam - check it's profile

It’s a bit sad, but hey — every cloud has a silver lining - looks like my projects did catch your eye)
