Samsara Gnome

Description:

Dive into the world of Samsara Gnome, a unique platformer where every transformation changes the way you experience the game. Play as a gnome with the ability to transform into any animal he touches, each with its own special powers. Your goal is to collect all the coins and reach the end of each level, but be careful—some transformations come with their own risks!

Gameplay Features:

• The Gnome: The main character who can break objects, collect coins, and transform into every living creature he encounters. Use WASD to move, Space to jump, and CTRL to punch through obstacles. The gnome can transform into all animals, allowing you to experience a variety of abilities as you progress.
• The Frog: The frog is a master of high jumps, able to leap incredibly high, but beware—touching coins you will die. Use Space to jump, holding it longer for a higher leap. The frog can transform into all animals except itself, as it dies from touching its own kind.
• The Bat: A flying creature, the bat can fly in all directions and stop when it touches a surface. It can also shoot coins (need collected coins) at enemies and destroy an obstacles using CTRL. Use WASD to steer and Space to confirm the direction of flight. The bat can transform into any animal except the frog, as it is killed by the frog's touch.
• The Chicken: The teleporting chicken can move across the level instantly, but has a cooldown period. Use WASD to choose direction and Space to teleport—hold the button longer for a further teleport. The chicken can transform into all animals, providing versatility in navigation.

Everything changes in Samsara Gnome. With each transformation, not only does the character’s ability shift, but the world around them morphs too—new mechanics, new controls, and even a new soundtrack accompany each change.

Created during a 48-hour game jam, the theme of Everything Change is brought to life as the world transforms with every animal form you take. Every jump, every transformation, and every coin collected is part of the ever-changing journey!

Will you be able to gather all the coins and reach the end? Or will the transformations and challenges be too much to overcome? Try again and unlock the full experience!

Note: The extra time we were given was not used, but we packed everything we could into 48 hours to deliver an exciting and dynamic platforming experience!
