Hexed: a pen platformer - YellowOS-X Contest Entry with Dynamic Debuffs

Hexed is a pen platformer entry for the YellowOS-X game contest that introduces a unique debuff system called "hexes." Players must navigate levels while afflicted by dynamic visual impairments.

The Four Hexes Explained

The Blindness hex reduces platforms to mere points, hiding all lines. Colour Blindness eliminates platform type indicators, forcing trial and error. Hallucination fakes platform types, disrupting intuitive play, and Glitch makes platforms blink randomly, testing patience.

Technical Features & Health Warning

The game employs advanced technical features including optimized list sensing, interpolated scrolling, and single-block ground generation for smooth performance. Control basics are simple: lava is red, platforms are blue, bounce pads are pink, and the portal is green. A health warning is prominently displayed due to flashing graphics, making it unsuitable for those with photosensitive epilepsy. The lead developer's attempted run is available on YouTube. For players who enjoy innovative mechanics, Hexed offers a cerebral challenge. Check out Sprunki Phase 4 Definitive for another game with unique modifiers.
