Boingo - DCA Demo

Originally designed in 2010 using Game Maker, my passion project Boingo returns for a planned official release! Boingo is a friendly fellow who must embark on a grand quest to save his family - and perhaps the world whilst he's at it.

The game features platforming gameplay inspired by classic platformers, like Super Mario, as well as recent ones, such as Celeste or Hollow Knight, although more accessible to newer players. It also features pixel-art graphics made by my partner, and will retain lots of the designs conceived in the original game 13 years ago, refined with my more recent game design experience.

This demo was made for DCA's Drop In and Play event in May 2024,  where it was a huge hit with younger audiences!

What To Expect / Core Features:

• 50+ levels of bouncy mayhem, spread across 7 different worlds
• A captivating story with quirky, memorable characters
• Gameplay, design and some art by myself, with my wonderful sister providing the soundtrack and my partner providing the art

• Aiming for a Steam release, with console support as my next goal
