Tanzer

Released2019
Tänzer is a homebrew action title inspired by games like Strider, OSman and Hagane: The Final Conflict, the art of Keita Amemiya and Roger Dean, and anime series like Guyver. The protagonist is a ballet dancer who is unexpectedly hit by a bright purple light at night in an apartment, just a week before the premiere of the ballet version of The Ariane. After the character wakes up the body is transformed and the world is in chaos. Each level has a different setting, ranging from the Old West to Ancient Rome. Levels are made up of several stages with mini bosses and then a large boss at the end of the level, acting as the guardian of that era.

About This Game

A 2D side-scrolling action platformer with six-directional attacks, double and triple jumps, and an enemy-stomp mechanic that resets your aerial jump count. Defeat enemies to collect gold, forge it into transmutation abilities, and upgrade those abilities at a home base — a time-traveling ship that carries you between historical eras. Four upgradeable special abilities, breakable scenery hiding secrets, and a weapon system rounding out the combat.
