Will YOU be able to do it without killing any gnomes? The answers are YES and MAYBE.\r\n\r\nThe Veiled World is a platformer\/shooter with light jumping puzzles involving the ability to switch between two worlds at will. There are four playable characters with different weapons and play styles.\r\n\r\nAs an incentive for playing, the game will rate your ability and assign you your own personalised spirit animal upon completion. :)\r\n\r\nTIPS:\r\n- Stone platforms exist in both worlds.\r\n- Make sure your own weapons don't bounce back at you.\r\n- Switch back quickly to get out of trouble.\r\n- Try not to kill any gnomes. They're not bothering anyone.\r\n\r\n\r\nTRIVIA:\r\n- The game was made in Construct 2.\r\n- All sound effects were made by me either using my mouth or objects within immediate reach of my comfortable desk chair. The one exception is the birdsong, made by local birds but recorded by me.\r\n- All the art was done using Sprite Something, an app for iPad which allows me to still be productive while lying in bed, using the toilet or partying hard with friends (actually, that last one is a lie).\r\n- The mac and linux builds are untested. If anyone does try them, feedback on any bugs would be appreciated.\r\n\r\n\r\nThanks for playing!\r\n\r\n***\r\n\r\nPOST-COMP VERSION NOW AVAILABLE HERE: http:\/\/panurge.itch.io\/the-veiled-world\r\n\r\n","title":"The Veiled World"}
