Crystal Gateway

Crystal Gateway is a platformer game set at night in a cave path that leads to a mysterious temple. Keep an eye for hidden rooms and try to collect all crystals!

This is a prototype release made in a week for Brackeys 2024.1 Game Jam.

Use A & D or left and right cursors to move, and Space to jump. 

Try pressing jump next to a wall for an extra jump!

-- About the development

This project was very fun to make, I created several tools to help me in the long level design process, and between that and trying to come up with an interesting mechanic (with relation to the theme) I ran out of time and ended up cutting short the levels I wanted to do to showcase the mechanic I never actually implemented... Still, it was a very fun learning experience.

The game's release is in a very basic state. It has potential to be upgraded into several things, and I made a little workflow to make levels faster, so it might be a good project to tinker with at a future date.

With that said, at this time I have no plans to further develop this game as I'm currently working on another game right now (took a break for this game jam).

-- About the Theme

The theme was "What's behind the door",  and I planned this entire mechanic around using doors to solve the levels but in the end I didn't, so I put a big ol' door in the central room of the map and called it a day.

-- Feedback

I'm trying to get better at game development, so please leave your feedback if you can! I would really appreciate it!
