Anoxia

Description

Anoxia is a 3D Jump n' Run Game, played in side-scrolling view, built in Unity. It takes place on a volcanic planet with many abysses, thus the player has a jetpack to be able to fly over the uneven landscape. The goal is to reach the end of the level without suffocating or crashing into lava. The player has to keep an eye on his resources and if needed collect the scattered flasks, providing the resources necessary to survive his journey (oxygen: necessary to breathe, hydrogen: power for jetpack, water: cools the jetpack). By switching onto other plains of the level the player may reach certain flasks in order to fill up a resource he currently requires. Through this plain-switching everyone can chose an individual path towards the goal station - The challenge is to find oneself a fitting path that makes it possible to reach that destination.
