Sakura Cell Warp or Run (サクラ セ-ル ワ-プ オル ラ ン)
Work in progress, on my current mobile game (for Android devices), Sakura Cell Warp or run.
Its an endless runner, where the player has an MP bar and consumes Mp to do actions, such as heal when they pick one up or teleport.
There are a few concepts/progression but still has a long way to go. Hopefully I will be able to release this as my first proper game.
Development is currently on hold.
For anyone interested in giving it a go in its current state please have a look at my Itch.io account Including more projects:
