Vertico

A 2D isometric “three degrees of freedom” shooter. Dive beneath the ice and fight creatures while moving in any direction, navigating a vertically-oriented coral reef.

This is my third Ludum Dare, and I’m really, really happy with how this one turned out.  As far as I know there’s not anything else that plays like Vertico, and I’m pleased with the atmosphere.  I think making the music before anything else really helped.

I’ll be posting a timelapse and post-compo version when I’ve recovered a bit, but in the meantime please give it a try!
