Tried to add squash and stretch to the boost, but sadly Valerie was squished into oblivion :(

Game is cancelled sorry

🫧 VALERIE 🫧
A 2D platforming adventure with bubbles, cats and forests. It's not made in a fancy engine, but I hope people find it charming.

👩‍👧 A story from two perspectives
🫧 Fluid platforming with bubbles, bouncing, boosting and slopes
✨ Cozy, light-hearted sprinkle of humour
😼 Cat

An incomplete drawing of a girl in a dress creating bubbles using magic while a younger version of herself looks from behind with excitement and a cat brushes up besides them both.

Automatic controller detection and button remapping, just by plugging it in, even mid-game 😎

This controller support stuff is hard to test as an indie dev, so we'll have to see how it goes when it's public.

Also I haven't got a DualShock to test yet...

Thanks to some people on the discord sever, a few bugs have come to my attention that have a significant effect on gameplay so I'll endeavour to patch those as soon as I can!

(Here's the #ValerieGame discord server link, btw: discord.com/invite/P24Qs...)

My brain watching me overhaul the entire character's slope collision when the game's supposed to be coming out in a month..

Rewriting the character collision code is going well :D

I'm almost ready to release the Steam demo for my #indiegame, Valerie. Here's the trailer!

It's a 2D adventure that mixes lively retro-inspired platforming with a personal story.

I took my game Valerie to Rapture Gaming Festival this weekend, it was great! I got to meet and chat with other developers, and got to try out the new (very different) first section of the game on new players. I'm excited to finish and release that demo soon!

Thank you Norwich Games Festival! It was great to give the new demo a spin, I look forward to when I can release it.

I didn't take pictures at the event, but look at all these beautiful pigeons and the beautiful venue. More cities should have public spaces like this.

Am I looking this up for art reference or because I need to feel some joy? Who knows 😀

I like it when games add some kind of built-in replay value that isn't just redoing the story, so I added it to my game (even though it's just a free demo...)

Be sure to check out Mel's Map in the latest version!

I added a "Floor is Lava" mode to my game, it's fun...

The only thing you can stand on is the platform objects, and it has extra objects throughout like the bubbles to help you get by.
