Layers Of Life

Classic platformer elements combined with an ageing mechanic akin to that of Sifu - that's Layers Of Life.

The goal of the game, as with most platformers, is to reach the end. In Layers of Life, however, this is not only made more difficult by challenging jumps and enemies, but also by the ageing of the character - both over time and when taking damage. 

Depending on the character's current age group, the players have one of three special abilities at their disposal in Layers of Life. These either help to traverse the level or allow the player to destroy obstacles and enemies and thereby regain some lost ages.

This prototype was created as part of a Game Jam at the HAW Hamburg University of Applied Sciences in spring 2022.
