Pitch
Grab your speer (which is cooler than a regular spear) and puzzle-platform your way through 125 stages! Throw it into walls to create a platform, flick switches with it, or imbue it with different powers to get past lasers, portals and much more!
Description
[Speer DX] is an improved and expanded version of the original game [Speer]. The core concept remains the same: Throw your speer into walls to use it as a platform, and make your way through puzzle rooms filled with switches, doors, teleporters, bubbles, sponges, portals and more.
The DX version adds 20 levels, new stage gimmicks and brand-new gameplay features to make the game more balanced and accessible (see below). The graphics have also been improved, and some of the level names are now funnier. I think.
History
The original [Speer] was an itchio exclusive, and my first successful game. Now, years later, it's finally coming to Steam!
I've used the occasion to improve the game in several different areas. I've polished the gameplay and platforming, fixed some bugs, spruced up the graphics, improved controller support, added 20 levels and added a checkpoint- and a slow-motion feature to make the game more accessible and less frustrating. And, as many players have requested, there is now also a speedrun mode that tracks how long it takes you to beat the game, along with the individual times for each stage!
Like the original [Speer], this game was coded with the HaxeFlixel framework.
