Valerie

Overview

Valerie is a 2D platforming adventure game with a focus on narrative, characters and bubbles! The fun, bouncy platforming physics are the main draw - try out the free demo to see for yourself.

🫧

In a valley town tucked away in the uplands, Valerie's story unfolds - play from the perspectives of both her younger and older selves to see different sides of the story.

Her mysteriously obtained powers aren't particularly useful for fighting, but they're fun! Use the bubble-gun ability to trap things in bubbles, and use the boost ability to propel yourself - with a bit of practice, these powers will let you traverse the landscape.
