Embark on a mesmerizing journey in this exploration-based, tranquil platformer game, “Project Brass” (working title). The game ingeniously intertwines platforming and puzzles, presenting a seamless, immersive experience within an enchantingly beautiful environment.

In this tale of divine retribution, you play as a spirit of the old religion, reborn amidst the ruins of a society once swayed by vanity and foreign gods. Now drawn inexplicably to the grand tower that stands as a relic of past spiritual glory, you embark on a quest to ascend to its top.

Our protagonist embodies the aesthetics of a nature spirit. The fluidity of their movement echoes the game’s emphasis on exploration and environmental interaction. This spirit can transition between various elemental states, each offering a unique set of traits and abilities. From vapor that glides through air and powers mechanisms, to light that dashes in straight lines, to a liquid state with high-speed but low control, and even a plant form with high friction and weight, you’ll use these forms to conquer challenges and traverse the game’s intricate levels.

The game eschews traditional punishment and death mechanics. Instead, a failure results in a quick reset to the challenge’s starting point, letting players experiment and learn freely. The tower’s stratified interiors reflect society’s former layers, offering hints of the past civilization as you ascend.

“Project Brass” blends satisfying platforming with sensational puzzles and strong environmental storytelling. It’s a peaceful yet engaging journey, where each level branches out like a tree, encouraging you to explore and unlock the tower’s secrets. The game caters to the thrill of discovery, painting an unforgettable sensation of traversing through a realm awakening its ancient magic.

How To Play:

The build is currently a mechanics showcase with no goal, but a fun thing to try is to get to the top of the clock tower, where there is a giant swinging bell.

– Moving: WASD
– Looking: Mouse
– Use key: Press F or hold F when growing upwards as Plant Form (you grow a plant from your feet to go upwards). You can do this when standing on a green soil patch, as shown in the video.
– As Light Form: Press F while holding W to dash forward. You can reflect from mirrors via this way.
– As Vapor Form: Hold space to jump and slowly descent.

Move onto the small colored circle-shaped platforms to switch to another form. Each color indicates a different form.
