Crystal Story: Awakening

WHAT IS CRYSTAL STORY: AWAKENING?

Crystal Story: Awakening is an Action-RPG that blends charming retro-style graphics with fast-paced action, heavily inspired by 16-bit classics! 

SERIES?

I'm taking it easy with the project right now, starting things off with Crystal Story: Awakening! I decided that the best fit for this game would be to make it a series of games to fit my development schedule (I work full-time with game dev as a hobby).

I keep my devlog and the official twitter  updated to share progress along the way.

Originally, this was known as the "PREVIEW VERSION", but I felt like this was a great intro to the series, so I decided to let it stand on its own!

I recently wrapped up development for the sequel for Awakening – Crystal Story: Dawn of Dusk! I am gearing up to release it very soon.

CONTROLS (Keyboard)

ARROW KEYS - Movement (you can even do diagonal movement by holding Up + Left, Down + Right, etc.)

For players using a QWERTZ keyboard layout, you can substitute the "Z" key with the "Y" key.
