Darkling by Sloof
"Story":
Darkling is a game about a unique wood sprite with the ability to vaguely alter his seemingly simple body, but this also grants him incredible abilities. This sprite is searching endlessly for his kin, other Darklings, but they seem to not exist entirely.
In the forest, he finds only slight variations of sprites he's already seen which are not much like him: the violent Dusklings and the friendly Evenlings.
With the ability to absorb energy taken from or freely given by others, the Darkling can more closely imitate aspects of other sprites and expand his already unusual set of skills.
This journey has no end, but it is one that must be made.
Gameplay:
This game is an endless platformer with a focus on simple, yet pleasant aesthetics and an experimental combat system.
