A 2.5D single screen sidescrolling platformer created as part of the first GamerCamp Masters 2019 collaboratively developed games in an industry development environment.
This game's platforming and hacking mechanics are reminiscent of Manic Miner(Bug-Byte, 1983) and Impossible Mission(Epyx, 1984) with a more up-to-date polishing, and the art style is designed to reflect a 2D re-imagination of Shadow Complex(Chair Entertainment, 2009).
As Danielle, you'll use your trusty robot companion SHADOW to traverse a Martian security complex, hacking its systems to unlock new areas and save the president of Earth's daughter.
Launch the game by downloading or cloning this repo and navigating to the Game folder, and running Impossible Rescue.exe
