Mechanics

Earthblade is a side-scrolling platformer in retro style. We observe the action from the side, and the character we control moves left or right. We have to make sure that the character avoids all the obstacles, either being a part of the level or enemies. Unlike the classic representatives of the genre, Earthblade focuses much more on combat and exploration, and the game world has an open structure. In this way, the game comes closer to modern 3D platform games such as newer installments of the Mario series and metroidvania games.
