o_evil commits tax evasion
A downloadable game for Windows
This is a solo game project I made back in April 2022. This game took less than a month and I'm quite proud to call it the first (real) game I've developed.
Inspired by VVVVVV, a 2012 game by Terry Cavanagh. Though this game is quite janky to be honest.
Bugs I've found replaying this game:
- "Dance of Death": Jumping off a platform can cause you to go out of bounds. (softlock)
- "(In Air) Downleft + X + A": Leaving the room to the right crashes the game.
- "Purgatory": Playtime calculated incorrectly
I prefer not fixing them as I believe it should be preserved the way it was 2 years ago.
If you're wondering why "o_evil":
When I was learning GameMaker 2 (game engine this game was built on), I saw some tutorial series named their files with an initial indicating the type of file followed by an underscore. For example sprite is "s_" and in this case object is "o_". Initially the object was named "o_player" to indicate that this was the player character and the sprite for the object was a white cube with eyes. After messing around more with the engine I wanted to create an enemy but I didn't want to make a new sprite. So I just took the sprite for the player and inverted the color, indicating a doppelganger or "o_evil". Player input controlled both o_player and o_evil and after a while I just removed the player object and let o_evil be the player character.
The tax evasion part was just funny at the time.
