A downloadable game

Flowering is a 2D platformer stealth game set in an underground kingdom of insectoid citizens.

 
You play as Putter, the apprentice of a local apothecary who’s returned from gathering ingredients to find the shop incredibly busy. Strange purple flowers have been popping up all over the kingdom, and with them comes an even stranger illness. 

You must navigate the various towns within the kingdom, avoiding the infected while gathering materials to craft useful elixirs and find a cure to save your community.


This is a demo made almost entirely by myself after the old prototype corrupted. I would like to take a moment to thank my previous team of extremely skilled individuals who worked hard to create a solid gameplay experience within a single college semester.
With the exception of some assets (sprites, music, SFX), I've used none of my prior team's work, including any code they had written or levels designed. I chose to start a completely new Unity project and have been using this game as a way to teach myself how to code. 

If any of you are reading this, please know that I am extremely grateful to have worked with you, and you may find your names present in the special thanks section of the credits (You'll find that your titles have remained intact).

Controls

  • WASD to move
  • Space to jump (hold to hover/slow descent)
    • S + Space to go down platforms

A game manual was made for the old prototype, and I'd like to include it here. If you do decide to read it, keep in mind that it is outdated and made for a slightly different gameplay experience.
