Spencer Just Jumped Out Of Nowhere

Entwickler-X is finally back , this time with a 2D/3D pseudo platformer for Steam & AmigaOS4x. At first glance the game style looks quite a bit like Tin Toy Adventures and the likes from the mid 90s, that is until you move around and notice the camera and depth added. The playable demo kicks off with some sparkling graphics and it didn’t take long to notice how much effort was put into...
