Manic

Summary

Manic is a story driven action platformer players will experience the different moods people with bipolar go through manic, calm and depressive, each mood changes the environment around the player and gives them different abilities or debuffs representing each mood.

For this itch.io alpha there will be no story driven elements only mechanics in need of testing by people willing to try it out, i'm currently studying game development and as a requirement to pass i am in need of people to test the core mechanics.

This is but a small snippet of what Manic will become with just the core mechanics, no real assets have been completed for the project as i've been swamped with another project.

if any veteran developers and or gamers want to give advice please do, below will be a link to a google form with a very short survey.

Notes

If you take damage you will become more depressive, if you deal damage you become more manic. 

As of this alpha if you're depressive you receive less damage indicated by the bar in the top right and when the screen becomes desaturated. 

If you're manic you receive more damage also indicated by the bar in the top right but the screen becomes more saturated.

Your can calm yourself by staying out of combat or holding 'E', your health also regenerates when out of combat long enough this feature is rather buggy at the moment.

Instructions

A & D - Movement controls

Space bar - Jump

E - Calm yourself (currently not real reason to)
