Overview

Ome is a 2D puzzle platformer, where your power to control the day / night cycle affects the world around you. You play as Ome, who represents balance within the natural word. A mysterious dark force has drained you of most of your power. Use what you have left to find the source of the evil and put a stop to it before it corrupts the world you live in.

​

Ome was completed in 2016, as my major project for the completion of my degree in Game Development: Game Design.
