Scavanuat is a 2d platformer written in AS3 using the 2d hardware accelerated Starling AS3 library as well as the Nape physics library. This games story centers around a alien scavenger droid that crash lands on a dystopian future earth and must collect various metallic objects which are then repurposed into new weapons, platform bridges or parts to fix its ship. The mechanics of the game feature standard 2d platformer movement and jump controls in addition to a magnetic collection tool and a building tool which uses collected alloys to build new platforms that aid in level traversal, as well as new weapons or tools. This was the first game I made and several rookie mistakes lead to it being shelved. I did learn a lot and was able to take away some important lessons.
