Roots of Revival
A downloadable game for Windows
Roots of Revival is a 3D platformer set in a mystical desert where nomadic nature spirits, bound by a deep reverence for water, journey between oases, unknowingly nurturing life. You play as the creation of a lone wizard who defied tradition by settling down to study the desert and create life. Master abilities like gliding, wall climbing, and a vine-like grappling hook to explore this sacred land. Navigate the wizard’s castle, discover creatures drawn to the spirits, and uncover the consequences of breaking sacred oaths. Can you find harmony with the nomads, or will your creation disrupt the desert’s balance?

Desert Crab Platformer Feedback 1.2
Well Done: Good variety of platforms to test all mechanics, lovely start menu art and music, and love the character silhouette
Could Improve: Mechanics need cleaning up (add back glide and reduce mid air jump number, vine is very curvy), add more differentiation to vine blocks, and adjust force for wall jumps to be even on both sides
Potential additions: danger areas, Flight areas (flappy bird style)
