Liminalia
“And seasons change
But I've grown tired of trying to change for you”
Liminalia is a local multiplayer platformer racing/brawler game about Seasons.
Up to four players race to touch the Season Cube, changing their season, which changes their character, their physics, their abilities, and even the way they perceive the world.
I had wanted to explore a split-screen game where players perceive the world in different ways for a while, and the Kiwijam’s theme of ‘Adapt’ felt like the perfect place to explore the idea.
This is a single screenshot, showing four players in the same level, perceiving it with different art based on their Season.
I created this game over 48 hours at Kiwijam ‘21 with two other game jammers who I had not met before the event. While we made this version, a fourth game jammer simultaneously ported the game to the Commodore Amiga.
It supports 1 to 4 players.
