Hey! Over the last four years, I made an action platformer called Mask Quest together with Stephen Lavelle, aka increpare whom some of you may know for his puzzle games such as Stephen's Sausage Roll. It started as a weekend jam, but then we got carried away ๐Ÿ˜…

We tried to get the game out in 2020, but it took much longer than we expected. Now it's finally releasing on October 17th โ€“ way too late for it to be thematically relevant, but too soon for people to be nostalgic about the pandemic. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

The game is satirical and has a unique breathing mechanic, where you have to press a button to inhale and release the button to exhale. If you breathe too litte, the blood oxygen gets too low and you die. If you breathe too quickly, you hyperventilate and you faint (which is also game over). So the central challenge in the game is to control your breath while doing some old-school platforming.

If you have any questions about the game, I'd be happy to answer them! ๐Ÿ˜
