About Azure
A final project of my college freshman year. Just jump and dash and have fun.
Azure is a game that I first developed as a regular assignment for Intro to Game Development class in the second semester of my freshman year, and I decided to continue working on it for my final project.
Inspired by Celeste and Hollow Knight, this game is a quite simple platformer. Players need to control the heroine named Azure to overcome obstacles in front of her.
- Main features -
Classical Platformer Mechanics: I implemented the double jump and dash mechanics into this game, and players basically just use them to solve problems.
Traditional Eastern Aesthetics: Art is another main feature of this game. I tried to reach the level of Chinese ink paintings but failed a little bit, but still, I believe this game looks adorable.
Well-made Level Design: I'm not boasting this. Both my professor and my peers praised it. "It is difficult but you still have the motivation to continue playing." One of my classmates said.
- Yeah, these are the reasons that you should download and try my game. It's free so why not -
Don't ask me what's the background story because I don't even know. Just created an adorable character and let her jump around.
Probably not adorable enough cuz my drawing skill isn't that good, but I did spend tons of time on art and programming. I believe the game is free of bugs after a couple of playtesting, but just let me know if it has.
By the way, the majority of this game was solely developed by myself within a month. Some other parts were done with the help of other people, and here are the credits:
Background music done by Snake
Logo & Capsule Image done by Danfeng Yang
Anyway, enjoy.

A good platform game. When you load again you have to start over.2 found this helpful
Not a bad platformer for a college project, my only real complaint is the hit boxes other than that it's done quite well.
Игра 'Azure' - это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре головоломок. Визуально игра очаровывает своей минималистичной эстетикой и успокаивающей цветовой палитрой, создавая атмосферу спокойствия и сосредоточенности. Механика перемещения цветных блоков интуитивно понятна, но сложность головоломок постепенно возрастает, бросая вызов вашему логическому мышлению и пространственному воображению. Особенно понравилось то, как 'Azure' не навязывает решение, а предоставляет свободу для экспериментов. Не существует единственного правильного пути, и это стимулирует к поиску разных подходов. Приятно осознавать, что ты сам находишь решение, а не просто следуешь подсказке. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет визуальную составляющую, создавая медитативный опыт. Отсутствие отвлекающих элементов позволяет полностью погрузиться в процесс решения головоломок. 'Azure' - это та игра, в которую хочется возвращаться, чтобы отдохнуть и потренировать свой мозг. Рекомендую всем любителям головоломок, ищущим что-то новое и увлекательное.
Great game. Simple yet with a hint of challenge. Keep up the great work. ☀️🌙 🌟
A bit crude, but a fun few-minute playthrough! I only realized what the little things following me were after I'd finished haha. A cool pair of visual indicators!
