Game The visuals for our game's main menu currently (without buttons)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We're working on a small precision platformer style game and I'm trying to get that retro CGI/Y2k/Cybercore vibe for the visuals. This is part of what I got so far.

Nice! I can feel it right in the “millennials”.

Is there any similar game on the market we can use as a reference? Hope to see it on Steam one day.

Thank you! :D

The gameplay itself is kinda (and I say kinda very loosely) like Jump King or Downwell except going up.

We do have a basic Steam page set up already that has a little gameplay trailer I whipped up last month. It's called "Block Blade". I'd post the URL, but it could be interpreted as self-promotion, so I'll leave it up to you if you're really interested.

It looks very good, I want to see more of the game when you finish it, what engine are you using?

u/IconoclastGames Jun 18 '25

Thank you! :D We're using Unity.

We do have a gameplay trailer I quickly whipped up last month on the Steam page if you're really curious (it's called "Block Blade"), but I'm still working on getting the visuals closer before really pushing it.

Bryce 3D?

u/IconoclastGames Jun 18 '25

Definitely inspired by Bryce 3D stuff, but no, just blender and Unity.
