GLOBAL INTENTION

The level is designed as a dynamic and linear playground, featuring expansive vertical structures, both on the ground and floating in the air. The goal is for the player to traverse the environment swiftly, leveraging speed, high jumps, and a glider. The setting is a desert-like landscape, infused with a sense of fantasy, thanks to floating platforms and monolithic structures. The most prominent material is stone, reinforcing the rugged, ancient atmosphere of the world. The overall layout is expansive yet confined, guiding the player clearly towards their objective.
 

From a mechanics standpoint, the level draws inspiration from games like Prince of Persia and Mirror’s Edge, emphasizing fast movement and parkour, particularly wall running.

​STORY

The protagonist is a young treasure hunter who learns of a distant planet rumored to hide a massive treasure. Embarking on a daring journey aboard his ship, he ventures through space for two long months. However, upon approaching the mysterious planet, his ship is caught in a stellar storm, heavily damaging it amidst a torrent of asteroids and cosmic disturbances. Left with no choice, he makes an emergency landing on a nearby moon.

​

Arriving unscathed, he begins his exploration of this satellite, only to discover traces of an ancient civilization. The story unfolds as he unearths the mysteries left behind and searches for the rumored treasure.
