Microodyssey is a narrative-driven 2D platform game, representing a travel into the greater scientific question: what there is at the start and at the end of everything?

## About This Game

In an attempt to investigate into the ultimate nature of reality, a team of
scientists, under the name of Microspace Corporation, develop a powerful
machine in order to scale down the matter. After the first three tests on
humans, in which they lost contact with the representative scientists into the
so-called “Microworld”, they are going to test this machine on another human
for the fourth time.

Axel has the same objective of the previous three scientists: to go smaller
and smaller, trying to discover what there is at the very end of the
Microworld. At the same time, his secondary goal is to try to find and rescue
the scientists lost in the previous missions.

During his odyssey, from the bigger particles to the smallest things in the
Universe, Axel will encounter many characters, articulated stories, and
impossible environments. From minerals, to cells, to molecules, to atoms, to
sub-particles, to the quantum world and beyond, Axel will experience an
extraordinary adventure that will bring him toward the ultimate scientific
question: why everything exist?

Axel, the main character

The core of the gameplay of Microodyssey is centered on finding strategies
to pass through a certain room. Just a single hit can result in a ” game
over “.

Axel has a special “Platform Gun”: when he shoot a bullet and this bullet
collide with certain types of walls he will become a platform – that will stay
alive for 3 seconds before disappearing; this is used to pass obstacles, solve
light environmental puzzles, and finding original ways of passing through each
room.

In order to avoid trouble, Axel has many abilities that will acquire during
its adventure in the Microworld.

As for example:

Shooting

Super Bullet

Boost

Jetpack

And many others…

Many obstacles will stay along the way during Axel’s adventure. From evil
crystals, to corrupted spiders, to viruses, to …dinosaurs! Yes, micro-
dinosaurs!

Every location of the game is set in smaller and smaller sizes into the
matter.

From bigger to smaller, Axel will reach 8 realms, that will compose the 8
chapters of the game:

\- Mineral level
\- Cellular level
\- Molecular level
\- Atomic level
\- Sub-atomic level
\- Photonic level
\- Quantum level
\- Singularity

Hi! I’m Nicola Mari and I’m a Research Scientist. I’m developing all this
thing solo. With just a minimum help from other artists (for example, for some
of the music and for the cover art). Thus, Microodyssey will take me still
some time to be completed.

But in the meantime, I really appreciate your interest, support and
patience!

I worked a lot on the first five chapters of the game (they are almost done!)
– the whole game will comprise 8 chapters in total.

Hope to have you playing my game in the end! If you like 2D pixel-art
platforms with a unique story, you will be truly satisfied!
