  • About / Context / Why make this game?

  • Cipher Pusher is born from a fructful gamejam collaboration with Katinaé and Florent. Well, saying “born” is overrating since it’s still an experimental fetus for now...

    The original theme of the jam ("What do we do now?") was firstly kept. GlobalGameJam Then is was adapted by combining Action with Puzzle, to provide straightforward arcade/action rooms and add more enigmatic and complicated places. Use your skills to clear yet-not-that-easy arcade/action situations, and invite a friend for 2-players local co-op mode! Take a break in optional side-quest parallel areas where you’ll have to experiment cryptic/confusing items/mechanisms. And who knows, maybe the two are connected.
    Oh I forgot to mention: As I love #RetroPixel #DemoMaking, and #Chiptune, I’ll try my best to do a tribute to these, thanks to the talented artists I'm working with.
And you, Still working on your GGJ game?
