Made for a game jam hosted by Unity educator GamesPlusJames, Tempuss was a solo project made in Unity. I wanted to explore time dilation within a puzzle platformer, exploring both slowing down and speeding up time. It was a fun challenge to design, implement gameplay and create the audio and art assets for the whole project.

Creating time-dilation themed puzzles was also interesting, being able to switch on the fly between speeding up and slowing down time gave room for an interesting puzzle-space. A few lessons were learned, such as not punishing the player too harshly for death (if they ran out of lives, starting again and repeating all the same levels was not very appealing).
