Project SHIFT Beta Release - 2.5D Action Side Scroller

Hello everyone,
We are a small team of developers excited to announce our first Unity game, Project Shift, which is a 2.5D action side scroller.

Our goal was to learn the Unity engine by making a simple video game that would be manageable by a small team working together for the first time. After four months of development, we are happy to present the Project Shift Beta release.

About the Game:
Project Shift is a straightforward platformer game in which the goal is to escape from each level as you are being chased by a robotic guardian. During the race against this relentless opponent, the player must avoid other dangerous enemies, traps, and deal with various challenges along the way.

The player is aided by his companion, a drone that can shoot projectiles at enemies. The projectiles cause the enemies to enter a ghost-like state, rendering them unable to see or harm the player, temporarily allowing the player to pass through them.

*As this is our beta release and still very much a work in progress, there are still various bugs and known issues.

Gameplay Video:

Sorry for no audio. We still don't have someone to help us with sounds and music.

About the Team and Progress:
Hi, my name is Danijel Lendvaj (Croatia) and I am the Project Lead.
I have started working on this project with Sebastian Kumor (US), a programmer, in January 2015.
Sebastian wrote most of the project’s code. While I did all of the visuals for the game, designed the gameplay and mechanics, as well as handled the team and production management.

Another programmer, Michael “Kuhmaus” Cenger (Austria), joined us when we were about a month into development.
He wrote code on Chaser enemy unit and he worked on certain sequences, like when player is captured by Chaser enemy or level complete sequence.

Maria Savenko (Russia) is our most recent and third programmer.
She dealt with Devices (Jump Pad, Floor Fire Trap, Activation Buttons) functions and their interactions.
And poked into various other mechanics as well.

Honorable Mentions:
