Frebbventure Alliance (Rough Alpha 0.0.3)

Pick up Frebbventure 1 for 33% off!

A world gone wild is given a few months of quiet... but the peace ends today, and things are about to go as wrong as they've ever been.

That's right, the cat came back, and this time, with more. More what? More friends, more enemies, more action, more levels, more bosses, more story. More everything! Frebbventure Alliance takes the formula for a game that prided itself on being jam-packed no-frills action platforming madness, and does it even harder!

What's the game like? I never played your first game.

Take a traditional Mario or Sonic styled platformer. Add in combat and movesets inspired by the modern Kirby titles. Now, crank the intensity waaaaay up, add a style and ranking system, and throw in a story that packs in plenty of character and stakes, without taking up 80% of the game. Sound like a lot of fun? In my humble opinion, it is. You should download it and give it a try.

The flagship feature of both games in the series, beyond any minor gimmicks, is the flow to the combat and platforming. Most small to midsize enemies go down in one to two hits, most attacks double up with some kind of unique movement utilities, you've got a dodge button that lets you cancel out of almost any action, and while deaths are frequent, checkpoints are, as well. 

What's in this demo?

• 12 levels (including 3 dedicated boss stages, though there're also plenty of minibosses in the regular levels.)
• 4 playable characters (2 at the start, 2 unlockable.)
• Around 8 cutscenes, depending how you want to divide them up.
• Plenty of graphical and minor gameplay anomalies.
• Fully functional (and fully optional) points and ranking system.

What's not in this demo, yet?

• Gamepad support
• Rebinding
• An options menu
• A pause menu
• Any sort of optional bonus content (the collectables that'll be used to unlock them in the future are present, however)

While the main stretch of levels and story is complete, this demo is still fairly early and "rough," which is why it's a 0.0.1 instead of a 0.1. Difficulty balancing will be rough, there are a few unfinished graphics, and performance drops are a possibility.

A 0.1 build will hopefully be ready by SAGE 2024, with at least MOST of those issues ironed out.
