General Information
Welcome to the SAGE page of Travis' Coward Combustion: The Sad Ballad of a Man's Worst Day!
The first game at Punk Puppy Studios has been our passion project for over 2 years now. As such, we're proud to deliver this demo at SAGE'22 Expo and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
In this fast-paced action plataformer, you dwelve into Lost Angeles, a city plagued by supernatural parasytes called "wisps". Aside from looking suspiciously cute and marketable, wisps can possess human hosts and give them supernatural abilities in exchange of the person's free will. When a wisp gets bored enough, it breaks the connection to find a new host, leaving the current one behind with severe injuries in the process.
In order to protect the city, a governamental organization was created: P.C.E., which exists to Protect, Contain and Exterminate this threat and keep Lost Angeles at peace.
But what happens when someone is unfortunate enough to be possessed by no mere wisp, but one megalomaniac enough to drag its host around in a rampage quest?
This year's demo presents the introductory section of the game (intro, tutorial and first level).
In future builds, our plan is to implement key rebind and control support. For now, here are the keyboard controls for the demo:
- Movement
SPACE
- Jump Z
- Attack X
- Grab Start/Grab Go C
- Grab Cancel K
- Confirm Dialog ESC
- Menu
Travis has a wide moveset focused on mobility, try to have as much fun as you can with it!
So, after some FAST GOOGLE CALCULATIONS we think we have something like 14% of the game finished at the moment. Our future plans include:
- Seven playable stages
- Cutscenes for the intro and outro of each level
- Mini bosses for each stage
- Refine some already existing animations
- Finish the english and japanese translations
- Full control support and key rebind
