EARLY PRE-PRE-ALPHA! MAY BE BUGGY!

This is my first game and a tribute to one of my all-time favorite games, Portal by Valve. This game is a 2-D spin-off with many cloned elements and a few unique twists. One of such quirks is the limited supply of portals which can be topped up at any save station.  There is, so far, a small test campaign which may or may not change moving forward. Test campaign takes about 30 mins - 1 hour so far but will expand as time goes on. The game is intended to be presented as a Metroidvania-style title with progression focused around the collection of various power-ups that increase the mobility of your character in order to reach new paths that were otherwise inaccessible.

Features a (mostly)functional  room editor that allows you to make and test your own rooms. I did my best to try and label everything in a logical manner with tool-tips when necessary. These tool-tips can be turned off with the H key.

Currently only plays in 1920x1080 fullscreen . Im a noob sorry

I am on a hiatus from coding in order to reconsider the games mechanics, premise and feel. This game has a long way to go and I want to ensure that gameplay can be compelling and much smoother than its current state. I will be spending some time researching metroidvania titles to find inspiration and ideas to improve this game so it may be some time before any more tangible work gets done. This is my first game ever and I still have alot to learn...
