Redshift-Recursion by diinki
Redshift Recursion is a parkour/FPS/Story driven game that hopefully can bring you a well needed dose of adrenaline! The story of this build well emulates the uncertainty of the development of the game itself, and the FPS addition to the parkour adds another dimension of stress to this retro-aesthetic kind of game.
The original idea was simply called Redshift, and I intend to finish that original idea one day. But this version I decided to name Redshift recursion, for ummm, reasons...
Backstory:
I essentially gave up due to choosing a waaay too unrealistic project, and got lost into lots of different things. And then I decided: "I feel so bad giving up, I'll just go all in, I'll do this and that to make it at least playable, and publish it regardless!" So I recycled my mechanics into what this build of the game is! And I did that with 10 hours left, so I expect there to be lots of bugs, and also lots of polishing that needs to be done. But with only 10 hours of time, I can't be that disappointed at myself.
I will probably polish this further and work on it more, and also expand on it a little, and once I've done all that I might as well release the "finished" version, I'll probably release that on the website I have.
Thanks! :>
Update 1: Since I will polish the game further I will have two available builds: The first build/version, and the build that will get continuous updates. Both of which will be on my website! https://kayowo.net The game on itch.io will only be the updated one.
Update 2: Released V0.02: UI improvement, Overall polishing. Read patch notes on itch for more information. edit: V0.021, fixed game breaking bug, oopz
Update 3: Changed from .rar to .zip Will take all feedback into account of how I could've made things better! This will be the last update for this version of the game, thanks for playing! <3

I liked the design, the contextual menu and how you made it, feels like a real little game!
For feedback I would say that it would have been nice to make the text go faster, to avoid maybe on retry a red flashy screen cause it was intense, and add grace periods to the edge of platforms. Because I somehow get always stuck if my jump wasn't that long.
Other than that I liked the pixel art in a sci-fi set up, maybe it was a bit too dark on the contour but it was nice!
Good job!
Greato Jobu! :smile:
