5ive

Overview

5ive is a 2D puzzle platformer developed by Bryan and I as part of a school project over the holidays awhile back. It’s theme is that of the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The gameplay involves a main character solving puzzles in each level. Each level represents each stage of grief, and the level is designed to reflect that.

Note	The above overview is meant to be the ideal version of the game. However, this game is still a work in progress, and depending on the situation, might not be completed.

Game Mechanic

The main game mechanic is the use of a ball by the player to teleport to areas where straight-up access is not possible or difficult. When the player teleports, the player and ball switch places. This allows for some interesting levels to be built.
