Developer CyberKomodo showcased this gameplay demo of a 2D project featuring an incredibly responsive inverse kinematics system.
In the footage, the character moves while aiming a crossbow, with the arms and torso rotating smoothly to match the weapon's direction. The result is fluid, reactive motion that stands out in a 2D setting.
The project is an upcoming 2D action-adventure platformer titled Acrolyte, described by its developer as a spiritual successor to Super Metroid. The game takes players to vast, mysterious alien landscapes, where a crew is sent to survey and explore the decaying remnants of an uncontacted civilization on the planet Eyra-31B. However, following a devastating catastrophe, the space station crashes onto the planet's surface.
