Archlyphion: Migration
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

This game is currently available on this Itch.io as an Early Access! See details below.
Archlyphion: Migration is a 2D-pixel side-scrolling runner game about a Beanie—a species of small puppylike dinosaurs that must navigate its way to the other side of The Archlyphion Maze.
Within it, everything that are usually found across different points of time live under the same universe together, progressing from the prehistoric to the futuristic. You will only be told through the limited lens of this particular little traveller who wakes up to find that their herd has fled away from the fire in their habitat, and have possibly migrated to the future eras ahead of them...
And so, the migration journey has begun.

Hey this is a good game :D, I really enjoy the narrative and the amazing pixel art, The gameplay does feel somewhat repetitive at times, but the boss fights are interesting! Overall, it’s a Great Game! (Note to the developer, the jump feels quite unnecessary in the early levels, cause of the 2-3 objects spawning next to eachothers) also good music :]
Ohmygosh thank you for the feedback!! <3
I'm still tinkering around on what extent could the jumping and the consuming of obstacles a player can do in these levels, so at times they can get a little brutal as I have noticed LOL. Appreciate that you enjoyed the music and the pixel art!
