Cove Kid

Cove Kid is a 2D puzzle platformer where you edit the level as you play. Your drone companion has the ability to select a small piece of the level. You can project your selection onto surfaces and change the world around you.

This is a game demo. If you enjoy playing it, let me know. I plan to expand the concept further by making this into a non-linear Metroidvania style world.

I am also looking for feedback on the gameplay and puzzles. What did you enjoy? What did you find frustrating? How far did you get? Please leave your comments, and I will respond to them.

Skipping Levels: If you get stuck on any of the levels in this early version of the game, you can just go to the beta test menu in the upper toolbar, and then click on Skip Level. There is also an option to go to the Previous Level. 

Mac OS Version Compatibility: The current Mac build only works on Mac OS 10.14 (Catalina) and above. In the future, it will be available on additional platforms and platform versions.
