Hit the Sticks

Description

A richly imagined, metroidvania, physics-platformer. Inspired by HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. Explore Namaset, a city from the dawn of humanity. A city of beauty and unspeakable horror. A city built for the Old One Kraal. Unearth bizarre technologies and creatures not of this world. Delve deep into Namaset's twisted history, and make its future.

At its core, MotOO is about a unique and coherent movement mechanism. Thomas' tentacles provide a totally unique way to experience an environment, evoking novel feelings of strength, momentum, and power. Basic movement has a relaxing rhythm that quickly feels natural, but gracefully navigating a dynamic environment challenges preconceptions of character movement. Thomas doesn't swing like Spider-Man; Thomas moves like the eldritch abomination he has become.
