Standby

DEMO Stand by for something special in 2017

Super-slick Standby is a game about chaining jumping, slamming, sliding and shooting—it’s a little like a mech-less, 2D Titanfall. That’s purely in the movement sense, as Standby is also a minimalist sidescrolling platformer, the kind you’ll restart again and again until you perfect it. Your little running man has to scamper towards the exit of each stage, and the key to doing so is Z—it makes you slide over hazardous terrain, slam straight down vertical gaps, or shoot obstacles from your path while you’re sliding about. It all depends on when you press it, and mastering this timing is no mean feat. This short demo is a tease, but a tease for something that could be special.
