A downloadable prototype

"Escape the backhoe" was originaly a project made for the 139th Weekly Game Jam.
Since this event, the game grew up from the state of "APLHA" to "BETA".

Now, let me introduces you this game.

First things first, "Escape the backhoe" is a 2D platformer in a pixel-art style. The gravity is quite low, as a consequence, the gameplay is rather floaty. The player is purchassed by a backhoe, so he tries to escape across the city. He needs to avoid obstacles as well as collecting "followers". Each time a follower is gained, he stands up next to the player. Therefore, the whole hitbox increases. This characteristic is the main focus of the game.

The funny part of the project is that; of all the things I made, only the most important one left: The followers don't follow you. Yes, this game is a lie. It would be add at the same time than the 1.0.0 version. Also, sorry for the current bugs ;)

Neverless, I'm eager to continue this project in order to improve it in all ways. I hope you also look forward to see what this potentially could turn into in the future.

Have a great day :)
