2D platforming games have been a very prominent genre of video games for decades with so many releases it is essential for any new ones to have unique movement abilities to stand out. 2D platforming games with a focus on stories on the extent of other genres of video games however have been lacking. The purpose of this project is to implement a 2D platforming game with original movement mechanics and a fully developed narrative with a traditional three act structure. The project is a 2D video game developed with the Unity Engine and the C# language that alternates between top down segments where the story takes place and 2D side scrolling platforming stages. The stages explore the original mechanics built around timing bounces as close to the ground as possible as well as a variety of other ones inspired by multiple other games.
