The Guy Who Lost His Arms

The Guy Who Lost His Arms is my first participation to the Ludum Dare jam. It was a compo entry (48h, alone). The theme of this edition was Connected Worlds.

The game is a simple platformer where you have to frequently switch between two parallel worlds in order to progress.

You play a guy that live in two superimposed dimensions, and can switch from one to the other. He must use this capacity to finally find the arms that he lost. Basically, it’s a platformer, but with the special capacity of switching between worlds.
