Skybolt Zack was born as a student game developed in 2016 for a graduation project at ISART Digital in Paris.
The goal was to develop a 10 minutes long game during the school year with a team of maximum 8 students.

It has been used as a proof of concept prototype for the full game and should only be taken as this.

It obviously doesn't reflect the quality of our full game since even though the core concept is the same,
a loooot of changes have been made in the 2 years we spend in development after graduation!

Here's a list of the biggest changes:

- Complete graphic style change, including Zack's character design and animations.
- Complete rework of the game's code, the actual game runs much better than the student version!
- Rework of the level design, with 48 levels in the actual game and branching paths in the map.
- Many gameplay tweak, including the suppression of the Focus Gauge, addition of Grey Enemies that you hit with a parry attack and lots of new enemies!
- Many options, including the possibility of customizing the colors of the enemies for color blind people or to match your gamepad's buttons.

Thanks again for giving our student's work a try! Have fun!

The announcement trailer for the final game is here:

Skybolt Zack is a fast-paced arcade platformer, with a gameplay twist inspired by the color based system of many rhythm games.
Rocket Punch through one enemy to another and destroy everything that stands in your way! Blast the music out with your increasing combos!
Easy to pick: press the button with the same color than your target to rush at them with a Rocket Punch.
Master the Rocket Punch and the dash, do combos, never touch the ground, go as fast as possible to get the best score and unlock the most challenging levels!

With this game, we want players to feel powerful and give them the will to go beyond their limit by always rewarding players who are improving!
