Super Orbmaster SAGE 26 Demo

For years, mankind has enjoyed the hobby of throwing bowling balls at wildlife for no apparent reason. Finally, someone has had the guts to stand up and digitize the experience.

           

THE STORY SO FAR:
Our main man Barp Squalton was spending his evening avoiding interacting with his neighbors by hiking through the woods. Suddenly he tripped and fell into a deep hole. What he couldn't have expected however, was that this hole lead to the mysterious Sage Expo. To make matters worse, it turns out one of the only people attending the expo is the annoying local merchant Sylvia. Before Barp can leave the expo, the Sage running the event manages to convince him to try out... The Sage Challenges.

THE MAIN HOOK FOR THE GAME:
Barp may not be able to run fast, curl into a ball, or cure his hair loss, but he does have one thing that sets him apart from other precision platformer characters. During the Sage Challenges, Barp has access to an orb™, this orb™ is the only way he can deal any damage to any of the enemies found in the levels. It™ can also be used to interact with certain stage elements, as well as defend Barp from projectile attacks. It's™ so important that you cannot progress to other rooms without having the orb™ in your possession.

HOW TO WIN (AND LOSE):
This game does not feature a lives system, meaning you can get hit as many times as you want and still clear the level. Everybody's a winner! Of course, this also means that everybody's a loser, so getting hit reduces your score. If you still want to show everyone how much cooler and handsomer you are, you can obtain the PERFECT SCORE. To get a perfect score, kill every enemy enemy in a level without dying. If you do this, you'll obtain bragging rights, strike fear into the hearts of your enemies, and even get a kick ass trophy above the level door or the level you perfected.
