Bushidog

Hello there!

This is my entry for Samurai Jam, as a Solo DEV.

PRESS U FOR FULL-SCREEN

PRESS F or SELECT (gamepad) TO RESTART FROM CHECKPOINT

Bushidog is a platformer about doing cool stunts to traverse the levels. You cannot change the way you're facing like the usual platformer game! You can only change direction when bumping into a wall.

You can jump, dash, backflip, turn flip, and do all kinds of movement to help you get exactly where you want and get all the collectables. Timing is key! Some moves can be used together with others to do specific things.

Includes a speedrun mode for the willing (he-he).

Controls:

Up/W/Space: Jump

Right/D when facing forward: Dash Attack

Left/A when facing forward: Backflip

There's also a wall kick, wall slide, and even a secret backflip move!

Space/Enter: Confirm

This game can also be played with a GamePad. The controls are easy to understand and there are on-screen controls if you need them.

Optional Themes used: 

• Cinema: The theme/background of the game is about a samurai dog making a movie.
• Don't stop moving: The character is always moving. You just control their abilities in order to make they go where you want
