Above The Influence

Above the Influence is a minimalist action/arcade game, it's one of the first games that I have worked on.


You can find a playable demo here

Plot Summary

In an effort to clean up the drug filled world, a man travels through dangerous narcotic filled areas to stop the drug dealers that have control over them. Jump on top of narcotics to destroy them. Whatever you do, Stay Above The Influence!!!

Some Walkable areas need to be reajusted and "jumping" is not yet 100%
I also plan on adding more levels as I continue with the project.

I suppose it must be asked... is this done in AGS?

It is, I just played it. It's a nice demo that would require better jumping mechanics in order to be more fun. Interesting project!

Indeed, the jumping is completely broken. Unless the next platform further up is above you, it takes a dozen tries to get the jump right. There's also no up movement, the player just instantly beams to the apex. This isn't mentioned in any way in the first post, but I assume this is going to be fixed, right?

I can confirme this is an AGS game.

Yes it's done in AGS. and again the game is still somewhat early in development and I am still an amateur at scripting. I plan to continue fixing the jumping mechanics as best as I can, as I too have noticed it doesnt work very well.



*Jumping has been greatly improved. Im currently working on a few bug fixes, starting to add a few more levels, and then I'll put up the "Updated Demo".*
