Please give the shaders a minute to compile on your first play. It may look like it's frozen, but it's not.

This is a rough prototype of a 3D platformer (inspired by games like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Odyssey) that I think is really cool. Please download it, it will look and run better than the web build. Sounds are placeholders and I hate most of them.

You can help shape the future of this game! I'm looking for feedback on the character controller and possible directions for this game.

ActionKB/MouseController (Highly recommended)
Jump[Space] or [.]South face (Xbox A)
Move[ASWD]Left Stick
LookArrow keys or mouseRight Stick
Spin/AttackLeft Click or [/]West face (Xbox X)
ShiftRight Click or [Right Shift]Shoulder Buttons (L1/R2)
Roll/Crouch[Left Shift]Trigger Buttons (L2/R2)

Roadmap, maybe

I really want to incorporate meta-puzzle (or "metroidbrainia", if you must) elements in the future, inspired by games like Outer Wilds or Tunic (or to a lesser extent, Blue Prince). Is that something that interests 3D platformer enjoyers? I don't know, let me know. I know those are my two favorite genres, though.

I also have some loose ideas for a 3D platformer "maker", where players can build 3D levels/worlds, if that's more interesting.

Or a multiplayer rougelike with procedurally generated levels? I think that might be neat.

No, I don't have too many ideas! This game won't possibly spiral out of scope! Don't worry about it! (Please send help ahahah)

Help! Performance is terrible/the audio sounds awful!

Turning the pixel chonkiness up and the terrain/sky detail down can help a ton with performance. If it's still not running like butter on your potato (or the audio sounds super garbled/choppy), you can also go to audio settings and turn the synth engine off. This will disable sound, but at least your framerate will be better. (I'm using a custom synth engine that I'm still optimizing. It's a little CPU-hungry, sorry. It'll be worth it in the long run I promise.)
