Karma: The Game is a retro-styled platformer where moral choices guide your progression through six lifetimes. This demo represents just one of those lifetimes.
I'm calling this a demo but it's more of a beta-test. I'm looking forward to getting feedback, criticism, new ideas etc. I'm planning on releasing this game in chapters. This is actually the second chapter (level) of the game. My plan is to take the feedback I receive and work on the first part of the game. Then eventually re-release this chapter as a final version.
I'm really looking forward to what everyone thinks about it. I'm going to take all feedback very seriously. One thing I'm interested in is how long it takes people to run through the level the first time.
I've been working on this for over 4 months. Hope you enjoy it!
Planned features:
100% original and used-with-permission graphics.
6 lifetimes (levels) each with a unique character and mini-story.
Overarching themes and storyline encompass all 6 lifetimes.
Character can be customized with colors and accessories (HATS!)
Items can be picked up and used to solve puzzles. (1st level has 6 items)
Multiple solutions to many puzzles attached to a moral decision.
Gaining a lot of good or bad karma will alter your progress though the game
Windows XP/ Vista required
