Pinwheel is Officially Available!




Game:


Pinwheel is a one-directional, side-scrolling, 2d platformer, where you control a pinwheel. The levels are randomly generated, and extend infinitely in one direction. Every level offers a new and unique build, which provides for challenging and rewarding fun.

After you have collected a set amount of coins, you can unlock different seasons that add a refreshing look to the game play. You can also unlock new colors for your pinwheel in the store.

In the level, there the three different kinds of traps: spikes, mines, and saws. There is 15 unlockable colors and 4 unlockable seasons.

There are multiple layers that are used to add depth to the game, and coins that spawn randomly throughout each level. Gems also spawn sporadically throughout the level, and can be used to revive yourself once you die.

This game is cross-platform, and works on both mobile phone, tablets, and computers.

Platform:

I plan to release the game to the Web through clay.io. Windows, Mac, and Linux will be released though itch.io. I also plan to release to the Firefox marketplace. I would like to release to the Chrome Webstore, possibly once the other planed platforms are released.

This game is my entry for the clay.io "Got Game?" student competition. For more information on the "Got Game?" student competition please visit clay.io/gotgame.
