This is Leaderlord (a branch of the project called Exponaut), a game built around a complex combo system for collectibles, making the player consider the collection order of the items they collect, in order to get the most points out of each level section, which often means AVOIDING the collectibles for a while. The online leaderboard should, hopefully, eventually lead to people discovering very interesting level routes that emerge from the combo system itself.

This project is also a (work in progress) 2d platformer with advanced saving/loading support, nonlinear area transitions with every object's state persisting between them, smooth background layer transition behavior, a cool scoring system and an entity editor, used for easily creating complex object behavior, and A LOT more.

Please message me on discord if you enjoyed playing, or have any thoughts about this project! My name is "pawlogates".
