Game SomnaBuster - Hand-drawn 2D Platformer

[pd_CGT]

Heyo! I'm making a hand-drawn vidya!

SomnaBuster is a 2D platformer, a story about escapism and self-efficacy, and my 2nd commercial indie game. I'm treading familiar ground with gameplay ideas fused from many of my favorite Genesis platformers - Sonic 1 & 3, World of Illusion, Ristar, etc, - but with an original 'crayon-sketch-esque' arstyle. I've been working on it for close to a year now, and I'm not far from a late 2024 release if everything stays on-track.

Somna is 95%~ a solo project, but I've gotten some big helping hands from friends, including:

Weatherby_Art - A cool art pal who provided designs for some of the game's enemies
ConeCvltist - Another pal and RPGmaker gamedev and composer. He's provided compositions for a stage and boss theme

You can follow me and see my intermittent developer updates @ PD_CGT_games

I'm looking forward to sharing more info as I get closer to the final version!

Taking time away from level & boss programming to fix up some visuals. I was a little adamant against adding lots of particle FX at first because i wanted to keep the screen clean, but I think it definitely looks better like this.
