About Death the Reaper (Platformer)
The reaper has found itself weakened by ghosts that escaped the hand of death and has been... "dethroned", If Death cannot regain a hold on the world everyone will live forever! You must help Death get back to its former glory.
Category: Platformer (It wasn't an option) "Adventure" was the closest to it.
I've tried platformers that had those virtual controls and they always felt awkward to me. This game does not use any virtual controls, instead I tried my best to make everything seem natural so the player could spend more time actually playing the game than realizing that his/her finger slipped off the imaginary lines that are virtual controllers. Which usually results in temporary confusion, or a player death. I hope that you find these controls as enjoyable as I do. Below are the controls. Most of it should feel natural, at least that's the goal here.
CONTROLS:
Map Controls:
Start a Level: Tap the Dot the Reaper is standing on to enter the level.
Select a Level: If you have beaten a level a path will appear to the next. Tap a dot that is connected to the path for the reaper to walk to that level.
Platforming Controls:
Tap to the left and right of the reaper to move left and right..
Jumping (There are two ways to jump.)
While moving, tap the screen with you're other hand.
While standing still tap both left and right at the same time.
Power Ups:
Double Jump: After you jump, jump again. If you wait until you go down a little bit, the next jump will be higher.
Fly: The controls are the same as jumping, but you will not be limited in your jumps.
Power Ups give you a 5 second boost
Additional power ups will reset your old boost, so if your old power up had only 1 second left, and you got a new one, it would give you it's 5 seconds and reset your old power up -> 10 second power up.
Special:
If you die on a level you have not completed you will get a game over.
If you die on a level that you have completed you will not get a game over.
A game over resets all progress that you have made.
Combat:
Swipe an enemy to attack, however the reaper is weakened and without its Scythe and in semi-mortal form. You have low level Death Magic with a small range that can only send souls back to where they came. You will have to get close and try not to die in this mortal form.

A good attempt at making a mobile platformer game. A bit hard to complete due to the controls being a bit sketchy when trying to make it through tricky areas. Some areas require a "let Jesus take the wheel" approach to them.
