NullAwesome: 2D hacking puzzle platform game

NullAwesome

The evil ZetaCorp has kidnapped your girlfriend! Are you a bad enough dude to hack into ZetaCorp and rescue her?

The setting is Altea, a planet much like our own -- specifically, the mean streets of Onyxopolis. Before you stands the towering spire of ZetaCorp, a massive conglomerate with its nose in many areas (including the seedy and licentious Onyxopolis underground). You play the role of Lorn Zender, a.k.a. NullAwesome, former punk rocker and Altea's coolest hacker vigilante! With your trusty Portable Access Console (P.A.C.) at your side, you can hack ZetaCorp's systems, infiltrate their facilities, and gather intel that will lead you to your lady love, as well as expose their shady dealings to the world. But don't get caught -- you won't last a second against the security guards or patrol drones!

Hurry! She is waiting!

This is basically a sidescrolling platformer similar to games from the late 1980s or early 1990s, such as Duke Nukem or Dangerous Dave. It has a hacking mechanic borrowed from the likes of Watch_Dogs; tapping the PAC button will freeze your character in place and present targets over "hackable" items in the environment. Tapping a hacking target will have various effects: you can access information, control elevators and robots, etc.

Aside from your PAC, you are basically unarmed. You will have to use your wits, your hacking skills, and the environment to overcome enemies and reach the goal.

Still VERY much a work in progress.
