Backworld is a game developed for the Assemblee competition at TIGSource by my co-worker Anders and me. He certainly did the heavy lifting on this one and deserves much credit!

The game is a platformer where the levels consist of two layers that can have different graphics, collision and properties (such as inverted gravity). The player can then use a “paintbrush” to reveal or erase these layers and combine them to solve gameplay challenges.

We used sound fx, music and art from phase 1 participants, which is the main idea of the Assemblee competition.
