Game Developer Arfhis presented his game project, Necrowave, a souls-like metroidvania featuring a distinct and unique visual style.
The developer is colorblind and has created a game in colors that look beautiful to him. As the creator explains, when crafting the game's visuals, he relies on silhouettes instead of color contrast.
Necrowave, inspired by Samurai Jack and Hollow Knight, follows the story of a zombie stuck in a microwave and is a 2D platformer with critical thinking-based combat. Enemies are designed to feel like a puzzle to solve instead of relying on brute hack-and-slash tactics. The dark and beautiful hand-crafted world is filled with fully traditionally animated characters, epic bosses, and challenges testing your fighting, platforming, and critical thinking skills.
Arfhis shared a free demo on Discord. Check out more details about the project on the developer's X/Twitter:
