Vector the Platformer - Bitmap Aesthetic with Cipher Secrets
Artistic Direction: Deliberate bitmap visual style preference. Narrative presented entirely from Vector's first-person perspective. Inspired by Red Ball franchise, but all level design, mechanics, and puzzle elements independently conceived.
Fans of unique platformer aesthetics will enjoy Sprunki Phase 3 Reimagined or Aether - A Vector Platformer.
